Project Description
The Buzwagi project will be an openpit operation, with a gravity-leach circuit. It is expected to produce between 250 000 oz/y and 260 000 oz/y in its first five full years of operation. Proven and probable reserves at Buzwagi are 3,6-million ounces of gold and 175-million pounds of copper contained within the gold reserves.
