The Yaouré gold project, in Côte d’Ivoire, remains on track to achieve the stretch target of first gold pour in December, dual-listed Perseus Mining reported on Monday.
Three employees at Yaouré tested positive for Covid-19 this month, but the company said it had successfully contained the spread of the virus among its workforce.
“Notwithstanding the regrettable infections that occurred post quarter-end, the impact of Covid-19 has been negligible on the progress made to date at the Yaouré development project,” the company said in its June quarter activities report.
