Water shortfall shutters Centerra’s Mount Milligan mill

Drier-than-normal spring and summer weather conditions, combined with unexpectedly frigid temperatures during the current quarter, have contributed to a water shortage at Centerra Gold’s Mount Milligan mill, in British Columbia, forcing the company to temporarily shutter the plant. The Toronto-headquartered miner expects a partial restart of milling operations by the end of January, with full capacity to resume following the spring snow and ice melt.
