Notable Quotes

• Dan Symons, President and CEO: "The safety of our work force is our No. 1 priority... The biggest impact to our exploration programs is that several roads used to get to exploration sites are currently impassable. We estimate it will take approximately six to eight weeks to repair and restore necessary infrastructure to continue exploration activities."
• Dan Symons, President and CEO: "Prior to last year, Jamaica had not been hit by a hurricane since 1988. Therefore, it feels a bit unlucky to have hurricanes make landfall over Jamaica two consecutive years... It is times like these where it is important to come together as a community... This will be our team's focus concurrent with infrastructure restoration to our exploration sites."
