Most Quebec-based miners are getting ready to restart working on their assets, but only with strict measures in place to limit coronavirus contagion.

The earn-in agreement would give Barrick a 70% stake in the junior's Pueblo Grande project in the Dominican Republic.

Province has confirmed that mines can resume operations starting Wednesday, but only with strict measures in place to limit potential coronavirus contagion.

In late March, Cameco placed the Cigar Lake operation on care and maintenance for four weeks.

Once the sale is completed, the miner’s gross proceeds would total C$201 million (about $144m).

The BC health authority is satisfied that Teck has put the recommendations from the Province in place and has strong protocols in place with regards to covid-19.
