The order became effective on its publication date in the Official Gazette of the Federation (dated March 31, 2020) and remains in place for a period of 30 days, from March 30 to April 30, 2020. \n\n\n \nAs a result, Telson announces that it immediately commenced the process of winding down operations at its Campo Morado mine in Guerrero, Mexico to comply with the proclamation and is in the process of reducing its workforce on site in compliance with the Decree and will implement care and maintenance activities during the suspension. Appropriate security and environmental procedures will remain fully functional. As this unprecedented situation continues to evolve on often an hourly basis, we appreciate our shareholders' support as we navigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business world. \n\n\n \nThe Company implemented control measures several weeks ago to assist with preventing the spread of COVID-19. These include training of personnel with respect to safety in prevention of COVID-19 infection, social distancing, the cancellation of any non-essential visit to the mines, comprehensive sanitation measures for the workplace and company transportation, and pre-screening for virus symptoms. Additionally, access restrictions to limit travel in and out of the local communities have previously been implemented.\n\n\n \n\"The health and safety of our employees, union partners, contractors and the communities in which they work and live are a priority,\" said Ralph Shearing, President and CEO of Telson Mining. \"We will continue to provide significant support to our employees and where possible to local community residents. To date, Telson has not experienced any incidents related to COVID-19 at its sites or corporate offices.\"\n\n\n \nAbout Telson Mining Corp...
