“The health and safety of our employees and contractors is our highest priority,” said Brian Penny, CEO of Wallbridge. “Immediately upon receiving the evacuation order from SOPFEU late afternoon on July 1, we activated our emergency response procedures and safely evacuated all site personnel to Amos, Quebec. I thank the entire Fenelon project team for their professionalism, discipline, and exceptional response in carrying out a safe and orderly evacuation under rapidly evolving circumstances. The Company will continue to monitor conditions closely and will resume exploration activities when authorities determine it is safe to do so.”
