TORONTO, August 27, 2020 - Gratomic Inc. ("GRAT" or the "Company") (TSXV:GRAT)(FRA:CB81)(WKN:A143MR) wishes to announce that all necessary precautions and protocols have been implemented to maintain worker health and safety during this unprecedented time now that its workers have returned to the Aukam mine site.
Workers have been provided with all necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) and have been provided safe accommodation and transportation to and from the mine site. Training has been provided to all staff and social distancing is implemented for the protection of all individuals on site. The Company's Health and Safety Officer has received his COVID-19 safety certification to ensure all measures are followed correctly.
Interregional COVID-19 travel restrictions prevent travel between Namibian regions. However, the mine crew is unaffected by these restrictions because all mine-related travel required by the crews falls within the Karas region. All necessary precautions have been implemented to maintain the health and safety of the crew amid the pandemic.
Upon return to the site, the crew began excavation work as well as construction of multiple foundational platforms required to accommodate the new equipment. The concrete foundations will house the equipment and various additional key processing components.
In addition to concrete foundational platforms, the team will install various electrical systems, water pumps, and plumbing equipment. These additions will link the circuits and complete the construction of the facility.
