Drilling Resumes at Ixtaca
October 5th 2021 saw AAU stock report the resumption of drilling activities at Ixtaca, while concurrently providing an update on the company’s coronavirus strategy. Since the global onset of the pandemic, the company has ensured that fieldwork at Ixtaca would be conducted in compliance with the directives of the Mexican Institute for Social Security (IMSS). In addition to various sanitary measures, the company has established a Covid Committee that conducts weekly assessments of the situation of the pandemic. This committee meets weekly to ensure continued commitment to company protocols, while discussing opportunities for improvement in the protocols. To this end, the company has arranged for a five hour online Covid-19 education training program that is accessible by any employee in the workforce. Completing the courses results in an IMSS certificate for each employee.
AAU Stock’s Covid-19 Efforts
The company reported on September 3rd 2021 that its Covid-19 protocols detected several Covid-19 cases among its workforce.
