The ribbon has been cut at ASX-listed Big River Gold’s Borborema gold project, in Brazil.
A definitive feasibility study has estimated that the project would produce some 729 000 oz of gold over a mine life of just over ten years, producing an average of 71 000 oz/y, and around 88 000 oz/y over the first four years of the mine life, and would require a capital investment of $88-million.
