Hochschild provides update on COVID-19 cases at Inmaculada
Hochschild Mining PLC ("Hochschild" or "the Company") is today
announcing that, despite taking a number of preventative measures,
including a comprehensive testing programme as well as quarantine
for all employees, there has been a number of workers testing
positive for Covid-19 at the Inmaculada operation. In the
circumstances, the Company has naturally prioritised the health of
its employees above business continuity and temporarily halted
operations.
As before, Inmaculada will continue with a reduced workforce
operating care and maintenance activities at the site. Hochschild
expects to resume operations as soon as a safe and healthy
workforce can return to site.
Both Pallancata in Peru and San Jose in Argentina currently
remain in operation.
