Highland Gold Cleared to Proceed with Kekura Development
Highland Gold Mining Limited ("Highland Gold" or the "Company",
AIM: HGM) is pleased to announce that it has received clearance
from the government of the Russian Federation for development of
the Kekura gold deposit, in accordance with mining legislation that
covers mineral deposits of "federal significance".
By virtue of its size, Kekura is designated under law as
federally significant, thereby requiring the Company to apply for
special dispensation to begin mining at the site. This permit is in
addition to the standard exploration and mining licences already
held by the Company for Kekura and the surrounding Stadukhinsky ore
zone.
Kekura, located in the Chukotka region in Russia's Far East, is
the Company's flagship development project with estimated
JORC-compliant reserves of 1.7 million ounces of gold. Substantial
exploration work and technical studies have already been completed
at the site to date, along with initial infrastructure and building
construction. A definitive feasibility study is currently in
development and scheduled for completion this autumn, with a view
towards beginning commercial production in 2020.
