B2Gold suspends mining in Philippines, African operations continue

Canada-based gold producer B2Gold’s Fekola and Otjikoto mines, in Mali and Namibia, respectively, continue to operate as normal, but the company has had to temporarily suspend mining at its Masbate mine, in the Philippines as a result of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Mining was suspended as a result of a shortage of fuel. Milling at Masbate, however, continues.
