Bullion miner New Gold on Wednesday reported three positive Covid-19 cases as its Rainy River mine, in north-western Ontario, but said that operations were continuing.
An additional seven employees tested non-negative with the in-house PCR device and the mine was awaiting confirmation from the Northwestern Health Unit.
“The company has a comprehensive Covid-19 response plan in place and the health and safety of our workforce, and our communities, remain our number one concern. We will support all initiatives that align with that objective,” stated president and CEO Renaud Adams.
