What we do
Mining Approach:
- Open Pit Operations: Utilizing a contractor-based approach, where contractors supply and operate equipment while the client provides technical guidance and supervision. This includes mine design, planning, surveying, and geological input.
- Underground Operations: All underground activities are owner-operated by our employees.
Processing:
The processing method is straightforward and conventional, involving proven crushing and milling techniques, followed by carbon-in-leach gold extraction, ensuring robust gold recoveries. Damang features two tailings storage facilities (DF):
- DF 1: Non-operational.
- - DF 2: Currently in use, designed and engineered to meet world-class industry standards and aligned with the Damang Mine production plan.
- DF 2: Currently in use, designed and engineered to meet world-class industry standards and aligned with the Damang Mine production plan.
