Fury Gold Mines Evacuates Eau Claire Camp Over Nearby Wildfire

“The safety of our people is our top priority,” CEO Tim Clark said. “We are grateful to our team and to local authorities for ensuring an orderly and safe evacuation.”

For now, the company does not expect a material impact on its previously disclosed drill program at Eau Claire, located in the James Bay region of the Eeyou Istchee Territory. The property is a gold project Fury has been advancing toward development. The company also holds a 5.8% equity stake in Contango Silver and Gold.

Fury expects to issue another statement once the wildfire threat passes and crews can return to site. No timeline for that was given.
