Orezone Gold resumes Casa Berardi mine operations, Quebec
Orezone Gold Corp. [TSX, ASX: ORE; OTCQX: ORZCF] reported that operations have resumed at its Casa Berardi mine in Quebec on the evening of July 17, following the voluntary suspension of operations announced on July 14 due to nearby wildfire activity.
During the temporary suspension, a skeleton work force remained on site to preserve the operation while advancing planned maintenance activities originally scheduled for later in the year. As a result, the company expects to benefit from reduced planned maintenance downtime over the balance of 2026.
The company reaffirms its 2026 production guidance of 62,000 to 67,000 ounces from Casa Berardi. Orezone would like to thank SOPFEU (Societe de protection des forets contre le feu), its employees and contractors, and local authorities for their professionalism, dedication and support throughout the voluntary suspension.
Orezone Gold is an emerging intermediate gold producer with operations in Canada and West Africa. Its Casa Berardi and Bombore gold mines host significant mineral endowments, growth opportunities and exploration upside. The recently acquired Casa Berardi mine has produced over 3.2 million oz of gold to date while the Bombore mine was constructed and brought into production by Orezone in late 2022.
