The business sector must not only respond appropriately to the current COVID-19 outbreak, but be seen to be doing so.
Vancouver-based Aben Resources Ltd. (TSX-Venture:ABN) told investors and employees it it has implemented operational procedures across the company to protect the health of its office staff, field crews, contractors, stakeholders, and local communities during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
In order to mitigate the potential effects of COVID-19, office and field staff of the gold exploration company, where possible, have been working from home per government advisories and the Company expects them to remain working remotely until such advisories have been lifted. Plans for field work for 2020 will be evaluated and updated as the current COVID-19 situation evolves.
Aben also says it remains well-financed with over $1.2 million in the Treasury. The company is continually monitoring the COVID-19 situation and considers the health and safety of staff and all stakeholders as paramount.
Shares in ABN hiked half a cent, or 10%, on a nervous day on the markets, to 5.5 cents, on volume of 85,000 shares.
