(TSXV: PA) reports that all operating activities have been halted in keeping with the government of Peru's travel and work restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The government shutdown commenced on April 1, 2020. All staff and contractors are safe and secure. Palamina maintains a minimal staff shared by the company and its operating partner, Winshear Gold Corp., to maintain all projects in good standing. Management will conduct a review towards the end of June to decide when to resume exploration activities.

Palamina also announces the resignation of Darin Wagner from the Board of Directors of the Company for personal reasons. The Company wishes to sincerely thank Mr. Wagner for his contribution and services as a director and wishes him all the best in his future.
