“The safety of our workers, contractors and service providers is our top priority”, said Richard
Dufresne, QNI’s interim CEO and Director, who continues “…we will resume our field-based
exploration work at Ducros when it is safe to do so. In the meantime, we have several technical
studies and work programs already underway that don’t require field work to complete, so we
