Gold exploration trends: drilling up, Canada leads – September 2019

First Quantum subsidiary Minera Panama’s $6.4 billion Cobre Panama copper-gold-silver mine is located next to Petaquilla’s Molejon gold mine, which has triggered lengthy disputes in the past.

The head of the world’s second largest mining company, Sam Walsh, said he will soon stop focusing on cost cuts to centre on growth again.

Thursday's report highlighted the 12-hole, 4,230-metre 2014 winter diamond drilling program at the Western Flank.

Data from Association of Workers' Compensation Board of Canada, shows a total of 69 Canadians have died in mining-related accidents since 2012.

Average compensation went up by more than $100,000, amid staff cutbacks, mine closures, shelved expansion plans and asset sales.

Project generators operate in different markets and stages of project development. Risk profiles vary considerably; leading to diversification within the universe.

Coastal First Nations will take their battle against the firm's proposed Northern Gateway pipeline.

The processing is expected to gradually increase to 5,000 tonnes per day over the next three months.

This will authorize additional area for surface exploration, reducing operational and regulatory uncertainty for the project and extending the proposed project life.
