Tectonic Metals gets funding for gold exploration in Alaska
The company's Flat gold project is located 40 km north of the giant Donlin gold project.
Reuters reports Sudan said on Sunday it expects its mining industry to produce around 7 tonnes of gold in 2011 and it plans to launch a gold refinery next year to improve the quality of its much extensive larger small-entrepreneur output.
Sudan is trying to boost output of gold and other minerals to compensate for the loss of much of its oil production of 500,000 barrels a day when South Sudan became independent in July.
