COVID-19

With COVID-19 cases in both Kazakhstan and North Macedonia, CAML has taken a significant number of steps to try to ensure the continued good health of its team members, including:

• Established a COVID-19 ‘Crisis Committee’
• Instructing staff to work from home wherever possible and enforced closure of the UK head office
• A cessation of all but essential international travel
• A cessation of all but necessary visitors to site (subject to authorisation from General Directors)
• Identification and close monitoring of team members most vulnerable to COVID-19
• The distribution of COVID-19 related PPE to employees and contractors
• The distribution of COVID-19 related PPE to community members in the town close to the Sasa mine
• Undertaken a detailed review of all activities at both operations to ensure that social distancing is at the heart of how we operate during the pandemic
• Made changes to alcohol testing at Sasa to increase social distancing
• Made changes to canteen and transport arrangements at both operations to increase social distancing
• Reinforced relevant government guidance and increased hygiene measures on both sites
• Issued instructions to employees to stay at home if they suffer from any potential COVID-19 symptoms
• Requesting employees take their temperatures before coming into work, and testing temperatures at the mine gate
• The review of critical inventory levels to support production in the case of supply disruptions
• Our top priority during this time is the welfare of our employees and contractors.
