Theta Gold Mines Limited provided this update on ongoing project development activities at the Starter Theta Project with geotechnical drilling and a geophysical survey now underway. Theta Gold is undertaking a geotechnical assessment of the areas identified for the Waste Rock Dumps (WRDs) and Pollution Control Dams (PCD) within the plan area. Design engineering work for minesite infrastructure is progressing well with all these initiatives scheduled for completion by the end of September. Theta Gold has not witnessed any impact to its works program as a result of lockdown measures due to COVID-19. Under section 213 of the Labour Relations Act. 1995, mining operations in South Africa are deemed as an essential service and Theta Gold's operations are thus not affected. The Company's onsite team has completed all necessary paperwork and safety protocols and mine site development activities onsite remain on-track.
