Iamgold to restart Westwood in second half of 2021

Canada’s Iamgold (TSX: IMG, NYSE: IAG) has confirmed it will resume operations at its Westwood underground mine in southwestern Québec in the second half of the year.

The gold mine has been halted since late October, when Iamgold had to lay off 437 workers or 70% of its underground staff following a seismic event at the operation.

The mill restarted in November, processing stockpile and Grand Duc satellite open pit ore. Workers began returning to the site last month and Iamgold said it would focus on training and rehabilitation work for the remainder of the quarter.

When operations restart, it will be in the East zone and progress to other zones in a staged manner, the Toronto-based company said.
