Modder East Gold One - Main Portal

 mine, mine shaft

GOLD ONE International Limited purchased all the issued ordinary shares in Aflease Gold on 18 May 2009 by way of a scheme of arrangement thus acquiring this mine and project. The Modder East mine encompasses a shallow underground mine (300 metres to 530 metres below surface) and a dedicated gold treatment facility. Mining at Modder East employs a combination of conventional and mechanised mining techniques. Access to the ore body is via a trackless decline from surface to the footwall of the reef horizons. The decline serves as a roadway for vehicles to transport material into the mine and transports rock out of it. A vertical shaft provides transport in and out of the mine for personnel as well as additional ventilation.
