The geological survey of the first 100 acres, or better known as ‘Plot A’, and the second 100 acres (Plot B) has been 50% and 10% completed, respectively.

El Maniel CEO Jamie Khoo said that apart from these 200 acres, the company is quite optimistic in accelerating the initiation of mining activities and production of another 25 acres (Plot C) of alluvial gold mining concession located at Bosomase, with permitting in place for mobilization works.

The company said that it will be considering the options of inviting tenders from mining services companies for contract mining on this gold field.
