Mandalay Resources Corporation Provides Statement on COVID-19 and Management Controls in Place
TORONTO, March 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mandalay Resources Corporation ("Mandalay" or the "Company") (TSX: MND, OTCQB: MNDJF) reports today on business continuity protocols in place to manage ongoing risks posed by the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. Management has taken measures to reinforce safe work procedures, and all site leadership teams remain committed to the health and wellbeing of employees, contractors and their families. The priority remains the safety of workplaces and the ability for employees to conduct their work safely. To date, COVID-19 has not impacted production or the supply chain.
The Coronavirus outbreak is present in all countries in which the Company operates, with cases being reported in Canada, Australia, Sweden and Chile. None of our employees and contractors have been diagnosed with having contracted the virus.
At this time, the Company has activated business continuity practices across all sites, including its corporate office in Toronto, Canada, that is now closed, with all employees working from home, in keeping with Public Health Ontario guidelines. Management will continue to monitor developments across all jurisdictions and will adjust its planning as necessary.
The Company confirms sites are abiding by all local government guidelines and will work in cooperation with public health authorities if required. The following protocols are in place at our Costerfield mine in Victoria, Australia, and Björkdal mine in Skellefteå, Sweden, as well as sites that are non-operating:
- The Company has instituted a company-wide restriction on international travel to limit risk of exposure. Domestic travel is only permitted if necessary and essential. Local fourteen-day self-isolation procedures are in place and monitored at all sites for any employees returning from an international trip;
- Sites have established clear policies for any workers displaying signs of illness. Employees or contractors cannot come to work if displaying symptoms of the influenza or coronavirus;
- Where possible, employees are encouraged to work from home, and flexible work arrangements are in place to reduce contact between persons and maintain social distancing guidelines. All non-legislated training has been postponed. Where possible, employees are meeting virtually, and limitations on face-to-face contact are in place;
- All sites have reviewed hygiene and sanitization protocols and increased frequency in cleaning of common and high-traffic zones. Communications with employees has increased on sanitization and social distancing;
- Sites are currently implementing intermittent temperature screening at the mining operations upon arrival and will follow all local government guidelines with respect to reporting of symptoms related to COVID-19 to public health authorities;
- Sites are implementing risk management processes for crew shift changes to ensure social distancing protocols and reduction in movement of employees between crews;
- Sites are restricting visitors to essential visitors only, and only for immediate and work-related activities;
- Where relevant, ongoing and transparent communications are being held with unions on protocols during COVID-19; and
- The Lupin site, currently managed by a third-party contractor, is following all federal and territorial guidelines with respect to COVID-19 and has instituted policies for its employees.
The Company confirms it is in regular contact with its customers to monitor product shipments at both of the Company’s mining operations. For critical spares and supplies, each site is reviewing its inventory and ensuring sufficient supplies and stock are in place.
For business continuity, the Company is managing current impacts of the pandemic carefully and reviewing the potential for more severe impacts resulting from the virus and regulations imposed, and site-specific contingency plans are being developed should they be required.
