Drilling Results and Exploration Update
Modern Gold Mining in Japan
Japan is an environmentally conscientious country. Although
mining is still active, it must be conducted in the utmost
responsible manner. Tolerance for large open pit mining and
commensurate milling complexes and tailings dams is low.
Hishikari is an underground mine with a very small surface
footprint (upper right). Ore is shipped offsite and waste rock
is either returned underground or crushed and used for road
aggregate. This is the ideal Japanese mine.
Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd. has done an exquisite job
reclaiming the Konomai mine site to its native state (lower
right). Such responsibility is what the Japanese people expect
from modern mining companies.
