New Gold Inc. provides an update on the impact of the heavy rains, flooding and mudslides experienced in British Columbia, which have disrupted the transportation routes to the Company’s New Afton Mine.
To date, the flooding in British Columbia has had no material impact on New Afton’s infrastructure and operations. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and assess the impact of these events on New Afton and the implementation of mitigation measures. Any potential impact to production, sales, or costs at the New Afton Mine will depend on the duration of the disruption to the transportation routes.
Our priority remains the health, safety, and wellbeing of our employees, contractors and communities.
