There are currently more\nthan 60 labourers working on the construction project and 90% are\nlocal hires from Sangihe Island. This number will significantly\nincrease once production commences. All equipment required for\nconstruction will be contracted on the island. Materials that are not\navailable locally will be sourced from Manado which is in the same\nprovince as Sangihe.

Heap leaching\nis widely used in modern large-scale mining operations as it produces\nthe desired concentrates at a lower cost compared to conventional\nprocessing methods such as flotation, agitation, and vat leaching.\n \n \n Terry Filbert, President...
