UK-headquartered miner Central Asia Metals Limited (CAML) has maintained its full-year guidance from its operations in Kazakhstan and North Macedonia, despite increasing measures to reduce the spread of Covid-19 at its Kounrad operation.
As the Aim-listed company enters the third quarter, Covid-19 cases have been rising in the local town close to its Kounrad operation, and 27 of its workers have tested positive for the virus.
“It is our duty to do our utmost to prevent the spread of this virus on our site and, to that end, we have taken the post-period end decision to temporarily reduce to a minimum the number of employees at Kounrad to further increase social distancing measures,” said CEO Nigel Robinson.
