FQM Trident Statement regarding MCK Suspension of Operations

Kalumbila, Northwestern – FQM Trident wishes to clarify the information currently circulating in the media regarding MCK employees and the circumstances surrounding the suspension of operations.

Reports suggesting that a commercial dispute between FQM Trident and MCK led to the suspension of operations are factually incorrect.

FQM Trident confirms that there has been no commercial dispute between the two parties that resulted in the contractor suspending its operations on 3rd April 2026. The decision to suspend operations and place employees on indefinite leave was made entirely and independently by the contractor. At no time did FQM Trident instruct, direct, or compel the contractor to cease operations.

FQM Trident remains committed to constructive engagement with relevant stakeholders and is available to provide more accurate information to prevent misinformation and speculation regarding this matter.
