Heliostar aims to reach production of more than 500,000 oz. of gold a year by 2030.
Cyprus will sell over $500 million of its gold reserves to help finance a small part of its $30 billion bailout needs between 2013 Q2 and 2016 Q1, reported Reuters on Wednesday.
Cyprus’ financing program will involve $14 billion from the restructuring of the Laiki Bank and the losses imposed on bondholders and depositors with accounts worth more than $130,000.
The euro zone has agreed to contribute roughly $12 billion, the International Monetary Fund $1.3 billion over the 3-year financing period.
