Fury Gold Mines (TSX: FURY) said on Wednesday it has temporarily suspended exploration and drilling at its Eau Claire project in northern Quebec after evacuating all personnel due to a nearby forest fire.

The company evacuated all personnel from the Eau Claire camp in northern Quebec as a precaution, with no injuries reported.

Work at the site has been halted while the situation is assessed, the company added.

The precautionary suspension is not expected to materially affect its Phase 2 drill program at Eau Claire, but the company said it will provide a further update once activities resume.
