 Resolute donates to African host governments' COVID-19 Support Funds

 

 
Resolute Mining Limited (Resolute or the Company) (ASX/LSE: RSG) advises that the Company has committed more than US$1 million to support African host governments in their response efforts to combat the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). Resolute's commitments consist of direct financial assistance as well as the sourcing and supply of vitally important Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), COVID-19 testing kits, and other medical equipment. 
The significant contributions to the Special COVID-19 Funds set up by the Mali Government and the Senegal Government builds on Resolute's ongoing contribution of medical services and supplies to the communities surrounding the Syama Gold Mine in Mali (Syama) and the Mako Gold Mine in Senegal (Mako). 
Resolute has implemented a comprehensive, company-wide response to COVID-19 (see ASX Announcement dated 26 March 2020). This response prioritises the health, safety and well-being of Resolute employees, contractors and stakeholders while recognising our responsibility to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our operations. The Company has taken a series of immediate actions, including implementing the World Health Organization guidelines for separation, isolation and mitigation at all company sites. Resolute continues to assess developments and update the Company's response as required. Resolute has no confirmed cases of COVID-19 at any of its sites or offices, and with supply chains largely unaffected and a dedicated team in place will continue to maintain safe operations at Syama and Mako.  
Managing Director and CEO, Mr John Welborn, commented: "Extraordinary events require an extraordinary response. Resolute is proud to assist Mali and Senegal in the fight against COVID-19. The challenges presented by COVID-19 continue to change daily and we must remain agile and united in our response to the pandemic. Resolute will continue to work closely with our host governments and local communities to keep people safe and maintain our operational capacity. We recognise that the continued operation of Syama and Mako during this crisis is of vital importance to local employment, community well-being and the economies of Mali and Senegal."
