The flooding caused extensive damage to roads, including road access to the mine and a single key bridge, wwhch has isolated the mine from fuel supplies, food and medical supplies.
The open pits have also suffered significant damage from flooding, with security risks escalating over the weekend and endangering the 200 personnel onsite.
“The safety of the Gold Ridge workforce, the majority of whom are Solomon Islanders, is our highest priority and accordingly the decision to evacuate all personnel from the site was taken,” Lehaney said.
