Talawaan (Indonesia)

50-hectare reserve and onsite processing facility located in a high-grade volcanic-hosted sediment body in the district of Talawaan, adjacent to the airport at Manado, the regional capital.

Recently renovated and upgraded facility. Comprises over 50 ball mills (ore crushers), five high-capacity floatation tanks, tailing ponds and off-site smelting operations. Ore is excavated at shallow depths from strategic locations on the property based on existing ore distribution data as well as onsite drill tests. The facility also processes ore on a contract basis from 3rd party operators which long business relationships with our company.

Traditional processing uses ball mills to reduce the size of ore particles and floatation tanks for the separation and cyanidation process.

The final smelting process for both operations is similar. The offsite smelting facilities are wholly owned and capable of refining gold both to phase 1 (“dore” of 60-75% purity) and phase 2 (investment grade) gold of 99% purity.

We are dedicated to working hand-in-hand with local communities to create jobs and support growth.
