The primary work packages for the feasibility research embody geotechnical and environmental website investigations for the processing plant and waste dump footprints, in addition to capital and working value estimates.
The Gramalote Challenge will proceed to advance resettlement packages, set up coexistence packages for small miners, work on well being, security and environmental initiatives and proceed to work with the federal government and native communities on social packages.
Because of the desired modifications to the processing plant and infrastructure areas, a Modified Surroundings Impression Examine is required. B2Gold has commenced work on the modifications to the Surroundings Impression Examine and anticipate it to be accomplished and submitted shortly following the completion of the feasibility research. If the ultimate economics of the feasibility research are optimistic and B2Gold makes the choice to develop the Gramalote Challenge as an open pit gold mine, B2Gold would make the most of its confirmed inside mine development group to construct the mine and mill amenities.
