The company noted that operations have been suspended after a number of landslides cut roads between the site and the provincial capital of Tam Ky, preventing employees and supplies from accessing the site.

The main transport road inside the site has also suffered substantial damage, which is currently unusable, reported Besra.

The heavy rains caused by two typhoons in the October, near central Vietnam, have resulted in the landslides and road closures.

Besra is involved in the acquisition, exploration, development, mining and re-instatement of gold-bearing properties in Southeast Asia.
