At Macraes, the Company has resumed mining and processing activities under strict and safe operating practices. \nAll administrative staff and other employees that can work from home will continue to do so for the duration of the level three alert period. Any of the Company's employees or contractors with underlying health concerns, or those deemed at risk, will remain at home until it can be established that it is safe and appropriate under government guidelines to return to work. \nAs a result of these changes, and with Haile operating at full capacity, the Company reaffirms its 2020 guidance. \nMichael Holmes, President and CEO of OceanaGold said, \"We continue to recognise and support the New Zealand Government's strong action to stop the spread of COVID-19. The health and wellbeing of our workforce is paramount and the safe working practices at both the Waihi and Macraes operations align well with the Government's directives.\"\n\"...
