Business Wire
Nickel 28 Capital Corp. (“Nickel 28” or the
“Company”) (TSXV: NKL) (FSE: 3JC0) announces
that on October 7, 2023 at approximately 18:34 local time an
earthquake of magnitude 6.7 struck Papua New Guinea (“PNG”)
with the epicenter approximately 5 km to the south of Ramu Mine’s
Basumuk HPAL plant (56 km southeast of Madang). Immediately
following the earthquake, Ramu Mine personnel initiated a
controlled plant shutdown in order to address any issues and to
ascertain the extent of any damage that may have occurred as a
result of the incident. No casualties or serious injuries have been
reported, all operations have maintained integrity throughout the
incident and there is no known impact to the mining operations.
Once a full integrity inspection has been completed and full
system operations can be reasonably assured, the Ramu Mine intends
to re-start operations. During these challenging times, the
Company’s thoughts are with the people of Madang and all those
affected by this earthquake. The Company will provide an additional
update once further information is available.
