Operations resumed at Guyana Gold-fields’ Aurora mine yesterday following a three-day strike by over 100 workers.
“Employees are starting to return to work in a phased approach to ensure orderliness and full production is anticipated to resume shortly,” the Canadian company said in a statement yesterday.
The strike began on July 2nd, and the statement said that as a result of the three operational days lost, the company estimates that approximately 22,500 tonnes of ore were not processed. However, full year production guidance remains unaffected at 145,000-160,000 ounces of gold, it said.
