Dual-listed Kirkland Lake has begun recalling its workers who were off as part of its Covid-19 protocols at the Detour Lake and Macassa mines, in Canada’s Ontario, while the Holt Complex remains suspended with no timeline being contemplated for reopening.
The company transitioned the Detour Lake and Macassa mines to reduced operations in March in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
While the gold miner, which also owns the Fosterville mine in Australia, reported a strong performance in the first quarter, it cautioned on Wednesday that the impact of Covid-19 would be felt for the rest of the year.
