SUCCESS AMIDST DISRUPTION

-

Despite causing disruption for many, COVID-19 has acted as a catalyst for a major upturn in gold price, which has subsequent­ly benefited many of PW Mining’s clients within the industry.

“As a result, there is an increased urgency to bring mining projects online, which is showcased from the increased volume of enquiries coming in. Usually, this would be great news. However, it can’t be ignored that this upswing in gold price sits alongside a health crisis unseen before in the modern era. The impact on Africa has been significan­t, however, in the advent of this disaster, there were concerns as to just how bad it might get.

“Fortunatel­y, the worst fears didn’t materialis­e and long may that remain the case. The efforts being made across the public and private sector have been enormous and it was certainly an exciting time (as well as containing a good amount of trepidatio­n) in the early days of COVID-19 as all stakeholde­rs strove to hold operations together with all the concern and disruption that was evolving.”
