Gold Fields spending US$24M exploring Salares Norte this year

摘要

The downturn in the mining industry isn't generating many good news stories these days, but one exception is the promise of untold riches from an undeveloped high-grade gold deposit in the Chilean Andes. Gold Fields' (NYSE: GFI) Salares Norte there could soon join the ranks of the world's best undeveloped gold deposits - perhaps one day rivalling Chile's legendary El Indio mine, which between 1981 and 2002 produced 4.5 million oz. gold at 8.33 grams gold per tonne, along with 25 million oz. silver and 472,000 tonnes of copper.
