OceanaGold Corporation confirmed that Macraes and Waihi recommenced operations at August 31 (New Zealand Standard Time) following the New Zealand Government's downgrade of the country's COVID-19 Alert Level from Level Four to Level Three for all of New Zealand with the exception of Auckland and Northland. The Company is resuming mine production, processing, and exploration activities at Macraes and Waihi, while adhering to strict public health protocols, including enhanced PPE, strict physical distancing, staggered shifts, and consideration for immune compromised employees. These restrictions along with the recent two-week shutdown is expected to result in an approximate decrease of 4,000 to 5,000 ounces of gold production from each New Zealand operation in 2021.
