(Energy Analytics Institute, 23.Sep.2024) — SSR Mining Inc. informed that Seabee will restart in second half of Oct. 2024. The fire activity has significantly reduced in the direct vicinity of the Seabee operations and is being actively managed.
Following the Seabee evacuation on 21 Aug. 2024, a small number of employees remained on site to manage the situation and assist the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) in fire protection activities, SSR said 23 Sep. 2024 in an official statement on its website.
While the process plant and Santoy mine were not materially impacted by the fires, remote equipment including power poles, piping, and exploration equipment was damaged, according to SSR. As a result of the reduced fire risk at site, employees have been cleared to return to the site in order to begin repairs to the damaged items.
SSR expects to update Seabee’s production and cost guidance in its third quarter 2024 financial results press release.
