Renard diamond mine to restart operations
The Renard mine, in the James Bay territory of Quebec, will be put back into production this month, mining royalty and streaming company Osisko Gold Royalties announced on Monday. Operations were suspended on March 24, following an order by the Quebec government public health authorities as a measure to combat Covid-19. Although the order was lifted on April 15, the Renard mine remained idled as the market for diamonds collapsed during the pandemic.
