Further to the announcement made by Griffin Mining Limited ("Griffin" or the "Company") on 29(th) January 2020 concerning operations at the Caijiaying Mine, Chinese Government decrees have now restricted all non-essential businesses activities until 9(th) February 2020 as efforts are made to contain the Coronavirus outbreak in China.
