JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – TSX-V-listed Columbus Gold has secured government authorisation to use cyanide at its Montagne d'Or gold deposit, in French Guiana.
“The authorisation of cyanide use is a clear message from the French government that it is committed to developing the vast gold potential of French Guiana,” said CEO Robert Giustra.
Columbus is operating four drill rigs at its 100%-owned gold deposit with the aim of completing a feasibility study by the end of 2016.
LSE-listed Nordgold was earning a 50.01% interest by funding all expenditures at Montagne d'Or.
