Fiji Gold

Crushing To Start Next Year

THE Kasi Gold Mining Co., N.L., which was registered in Syd ney early this year, is engaged in development work on a property on the island of Vanu Levu, about 200 miles south-east of Suva, Fiji.

During the past year active mining operations have been carried out, but owing to the rugged nature of the country, development has been retard ed, though operations are now being pushed ahead. The whole of the min ing plant, including a 10-head stamp mill cyanide plant, has been shipped.

Crushing operations are expected to begin in the coming year.

Development work from the surface outcrop down to the main adit level is reported to reveal a big tonnage of ore, of which 20,000 tons has been blocked out so far. The lode has been driven on for over a distance of 400 feet, and maintained a width of over 7ft. between the walls.

The whole of the mine opened up has been sampled to give averages of from 94/- to 120/- per ton contents.
