Placer Mining
GEGL subsidary Glass Earth Mining actively mines for placer ("alluvial") gold across GEGL's large permit holding in the Otago region (where over 8M ounces of gold(1) has been mined historically since the first gold rush in 1861).
The mining enables cash to be generated from ground that was already being held for hard-rock exploration (where we are looking for targets similar to the nearby Macraes Mine, a mesothermal shear-hosted deposit owned by OceanaGold).
An NI 43-101 Technical Report has been compiled on the project and is available from Sedar, or the Technical Reports section.
