If it secures approval, Reunion Gold Inc, with the development of an open pit and underground gold mine, is hoping to produce approximately five million ounces of gold over 14 to 16 years from the processing of an estimated 65 to 70 million tonnes of ore.
According to a project summary, submitted by the Canadian-based company, to the Environmental Protection Agency, 280 to 350 million tonnes of waste rock and 65 to 70 million tonnes of tailings will be produced from its gold mining activity.
The Canada-based gold exploration and development company, if given the green light by the EPA, would then need to clinch a deal with the government to conduct gold mining and processing at the confluence of the Oko and Kairuni rivers.
