TSX- and NYSE-listed Fury Gold Mines has halted drilling and exploration activities at its Eau Claire camp, in the James Bay region, in Quebec, Canada, owing to a forest fire burning within the vicinity of the camp.

All employees and contractors have also been temporarily evacuated from the Eau Claire camp while the situation continues to be monitored.

Fury says it does not expect the precautionary suspension to have a material impact on the Phase 2 drill programme at Eau Claire, but says it will provide a further update once activities resume and the extent of any delay can be assessed.

“The safety of our people is our top priority. We are grateful to our team and to local authorities for ensuring an orderly and safe evacuation of the Eau Claire camp. We will continue to monitor conditions closely and will resume activities at site as soon as it is safe to do so,” says Fury CEO Tim Clark.
