Artemis Gold ramping back up to normal construction activities following wildfire threat
VANDERHOOF — Artemis Gold are planning to “ramp back up” following last week’s wildfire threat to its Blackwater Mine.
Artemis Gold took proactive steps at the mine site, limiting the number of non-essential staff and contractors early last week and all company staff and contractors are safe and accounted for.
“The Blackwater Mine site infrastructure remains intact, including the construction camp, process plant area, construction fleet and contractors’ fleets. Damage to property has been minimal,” reads a company news release.
“Safety is our top priority, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the proactive, organized approach our team took to reduce non-essential workers at our mine site days before the wildfire reached our site. Our second priority was securing the asset, and our emergency services teams implemented very effective protective measures across the site,” said Steven Dean, Artemis Gold Inc. Chairman and CEO.
