Metro Mining (ASX: MMI) is pleased to provide production and shipping results for the month of April.

Since beginning operations in 2018, this has been the best start to the year for both mining and shipping.

The strong April results exceeded budget and are attributable to greater experience and continuity of workforce, recent upgrades to plant and equipment and favourable weather conditions. Significantly, these results were achieved in spite of essential COVID-19 safety procedures implemented on-site prior to resumption of operations.

Metro Mining Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Simon Finnis, said: 'This is a very pleasing start for 2020. We have had a seamless transition back into operations and as a result have been able to build significant stockpiles at the Port, positioning the project for continued strong operational performance. The team has responded well to the additional procedures required as a result of COVID-19 and that is clear in the results we have achieved.'
