The suspension of operations lasted approximately 30 days and is not expected to impact Great Panther’s ability to achieve consolidated 2020 production guidance.
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, Topia produced an average of approximately 1,400 gold equivalent ounces per month and accounted for approximately 9% of the company’s revenues.
