Thailand's Chatree Gold Mine Resumes Full Production

摘要

The Chatree/Chatree North gold mine in central Thailand, about 280 km north of Bangkok, is now back to full capacity following a successful ramp-up of operations when full access was granted to new mining leases. It is owned and operated by Kingsgate Consolidated Ltd., through its Thai subsidiary Akara Mining Ltd. The mine had been through uncertain times while the operator had to await the Thai government's green light for the Chatree expansion proposal and the granting of all necessary permits. These included forestry, access, establishment of new haul roads, construction of environmental bunds, sedimentation and catchment ponds, and construction of a new explosives magazine to obtain a critical new blasting license.
