Alto halts drilling in Italy as Covid-19 rages

Alta Zinc has suspended drilling activities at its Gorno project, in Italy, as the Coronavirus continues to spread.

The company said on Friday that while the areas around the Gorno project had not been directly affected by the COVID-19 virus and had fallen outside of the restrictive zones mapped out by the Italian authorities, the Italian government has now decreed that all of Italy would be subject to restrictions in a bid to control the spread of the virus.
