Facing difficulty in sequencing activities within its mine plan, Guyana Goldfields (TSX:GUY) said today ore production will be suspended between four and six months in 2020 to focus on waste stripping.
The company made the announcement in its year-end production results.
In its initial mine plan, the company thought it could keep processing ore but faced difficulty smoothing out waste stripping, which resulted in a smaller operating areas with "...reduced productivity rates from increased congestion and delays in drill-blast-load cycles."
