[PR Newswire] – Gold production in the mill was not interrupted as Westwood has sufficient stockpiles and has advanced underground development to the extent that it has many operating underground stopes from which to mine. Mining in the affected area has been suspended until the situation analysis is completed, as worker safety remains the priority. Based on an initial assesment of this event, annual production and cost guidance for Westwood remain unchanged. The Westwood emergency response team was immediately deployed. Government authorities, including the provincial safety authorities CSST, and local stakeholders have been notified.
