Westgold Resources Limited (ASX: WGX) (Westgold or the Company) advises that the recently announced five-day lockdown measures in Western Australia will only have a minimal impact on its operations.

All the Company's operations are located in the Murchison Region, outside the lockdown boundaries set by the Government.

Westgold's top priority at all times is the health and safety of its staff, business partners and our community, which is the fundamental principle in line with which COVID-19 management strategies are devised. Westgold will continue to support and co-operate with the Government during this period.

So far, the travel and quarantining restrictions already in place have had a minor impact on attendance levels of our commuting workforce and they continue to impede the recruitment of skilled workers to service the Company's expanding operations.

However, at this stage, none of the previous or recent restrictions are expected to impact Westgold's ability to meet its market guidance and the Company will advise the market if that situation changes.
