Gold development company Artemis on Monday reported that the infrastructure at its Blackwater mine, in the Cariboo region, was intact following last week’s uncontrolled wildfire in the immediate vicinity of the construction site.

This includes the construction camp, process plant area, construction fleet and contractors’ fleet.

The company stated that damage to property had been minimal.

“Safety is our top priority, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the proactive, organised approach our team took to reduce nonessential workers at our mine site days before the wildfire reached our site. Our second priority was securing the asset, and our emergency services teams implemented very effective protective measures across the site,” said Artemis chairperson and CEO Steven Dean.

Artemis does not expect the work stoppage to impact on the construction schedule and said that it continued to target first gold pour in the second half of 2024.
