Gross is an important development project in Yakutia, adjacent to the well-established Neryungri (the Tabornoe gold deposit) open pit heap leach operation. The economic attractiveness of the Gross project was also confirmed by a pilot stage operation, launched in February 2014. In 2014, 1.8 million tonnes of Gross ore was processed and 29 koz of gold produced at the heap leach facility of the satellite Neryungri mine. As a part of the pilot stage, commercial scale metallurgical tests were carried out in which achieved recovery levels were in excess of what had been estimated in the Feasibility Study – recovery of 82.5% after an irrigation period of 150 days for -40mm ore. This pilot stage production is delivering recoveries at above 80% and low production costs, which provides strong confidence in the successful performance of the Gross project.Nordgold will invest approximately US$8.5 million in detailed design works in 2015, while continuing the Gross pilot stage with the aim of producing approximately 35 koz of gold this year.The proximity of Neryungri is enabling Nordgold to benefit from economies of scale, an expert knowledge of the local geology and shared expertise from Neryungri’s management team.Construction is expected to begin in late 2015 or early 2016 (subject to Board approval), with production starting up to two years later. The project will require approximately US$260 million of capital investment during construction.The construction of Gross will be Nordgold’s third greenfield project developed from exploration to production and follows the successful launch of the Bissa mine in Burkina Faso in January 2013, which fully paid back investment within 21 months after launch. Nordgold continues to expand the Bissa mine with the proposed construction of a heap leach operation at the nearby Bouly project which is expected to commence production in 2016.

The initial discovery in the Tintic district occurred in 1869. With the arrival of the railroad in 1878, the mining operations expanded rapidly making Tintic the most productive district in Utah by 1899. Although district production peaked during the first half of the twentieth century, exploration activities from 1940 to 1970 continued to make significant discoveries under volcanic cover in areas peripheral to the Main Tintic subdistrict. Production declined significantly with the closure of the Burgin mine in 1978, sputtered in the 1990s, and finally came to an end in March 2002 with the closure of the Trixie mine. The district is currently idle except for sporadic exploration activities
