Dominion Diamond Mines announces decision to suspend operations at Ekati Diamond Mine in response to coronavirus pandemic
News /by gterpe@washcorp.comCALGARY, AB – March 19, 2020 – Dominion Diamond Mines ULC (“Dominion”) today announced that it has decided to suspend operations at the Ekati Diamond Mine (“Ekati”) to safeguard its employees and the communities surrounding its operations from threat posed by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Dominion has long been committed to the health, safety and well-being of its employees and to establishing strong, lasting and respectful relationships with the people and communities with whom it works. Although none of Dominion’s employees have tested positive for the Coronavirus to date, this preventative action was determined to be a necessary step given the rapid spread of the virus, the remote location of the Ekati mine’s operations and the high frequency of air travel required for employees and support staff to access mining operations.
As a result of the decision to suspend mining and production activities until the Coronavirus pandemic is under control, a minimal care and maintenance crew will stay on with Dominion to maintain the Ekati mine during this interim period.
There is currently no timeline established for this period of suspended operations. Dominion will provide updates on future developments as they become available.
