Evolution Mining Limited (ASX:EVN) ('Evolution') advises that operations at the Red Lake gold mine in Ontario, Canada, have resumed following the municipal led evacuation of the region due to the threat of a nearby forest fire.

Due to the outstanding efforts of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, together with strong support from the local community, the fire was safely contained before reaching the townships. All residents of the broader Red Lake community, including our Evolution employees and contractors, are safe. There has been no damage to any of the operation's infrastructure and, due to the diligent work of Evolution's site team, re-entry into the underground and processing areas has been progressing smoothly.

Evolution would like to thank everyone involved in the containment of the fire and in providing frontline support for our co-workers and the community through these trying times. We will continue to work with our local municipalities and communities to deliver ongoing support. Red Lake remains on track to deliver planned September quarter gold production. This announcement has been authorised for release to the ASX by Executive Chairman, Jake Klein.
