While the gates were closed, a skeleton crew remained on the property to monitor infrastructure and maintain essential systems. The company utilized this forced downtime to accelerate maintenance projects originally slated for later in the calendar year. By completing these repairs early, leadership expects to see a measurable reduction in maintenance-related downtime throughout 2026.

Production timelines remain largely unaffected by the evacuation. Orezone reaffirmed its full-year guidance for the facility, projecting a total output between 62,000 and 67,000 ounces of gold.
