There is more gold in those Fiji hills in Vanua Levu, near an old mine, close to the Yanawai River, which closed more than 30 years ago. Whether there is gold in payable quantities is another matter, but a preliminary investigation by the Em peror Gold Mining Co Ltd suggested favourable deposits underground west of Mount Kasi, Wailevu.
