More gold mining permits have been secured by West Wits
The Australia-listed gold mining company West Wits Mining, which is already on the way to contributing $1.15-billion-plus to the South African economy over the 17-year life of its maiden Qala Shallows gold mine near Johannesburg, has secured more gold mining permits, West Wits CEO Rudi Deysel confirmed on the site where Qala's first gold pour took place on March 17. “We've got more mining applications out there and a few have already been approved. Our intention is to grow, and we've got a clear plan now about how we are going to grow. There are also near-term opportunities for us, which we’re looking at,” Deysel told Mining Weekly.
