Kodiak Copper Temporarily Pauses Drill Program at MPD Due to Wildfire Risk
August 17, 2021 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Kodiak Copper Corp. (the “Company” or “Kodiak”) (TSX-V: KDK, OTCQB: KDKCF, Frankfurt: 5DD1) announces that work has been temporarily halted at its MPD copper-gold porphyry project in Southern British Columbia as a precautionary measure due to the wildfire situation.
All workers are being safely demobilized. At this stage the Company does not expect a material impact on its fully funded drill program at MPD. Kodiak is monitoring the wildfire situation closely and will resume work when it is deemed safe to do so.
Claudia Tornquist, President and CEO of Kodiak said, “There is nothing more important than the health and safety of our employees and contractors, consequently we have taken the prudent decision to suspend our drill program at the MPD project until the wildfire situation in the local area improves. Our thoughts are with all those affected or threatened by the fires. I sincerely hope that the lower temperatures and forecasted rain over the next couple of days will help improve the fire situation and bring some relief to the local communities.”
