Golden Star puts 60 in quarantine after second confirmed Covid case

Gold mining company Golden Star Resources has two positive Covid-19 cases at its Prestea mine, in Ghana, and has placed about 60 employees in quarantine.

The NYSE American- and TSX-listed company is revising its planned operations in the short term to allow for possible critical skills shortages and says that it will impact on production from 24 Level over the coming weeks.

However, the impact on development activities on 17 Level – which are crucial to the longer-term viability of the operation – will be minimal.
