Polyus sees downside risk to 2020 guidance

While its operations have not been interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic in the first quarter, Russian gold miner Polyus has said its production targets for 2020 may have to be adjusted because of coronavirus risks.

The London-listed company, which on Monday reported first-quarter results, reported positive Covid-19 cases at its Krasnoyarsk business unit, which includes the Olimpiada, Blagodatnoye and Titimukhta mines.
