Permitting Process ‐ Sappes
-
Mineral rights in Greece are held by the government and administered by the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change (MEC)
-
A Preliminary Environmental Impact Study (PEIS) was submitted to the Ministry of Environment (MEC) in December 2010. This is the first step of the permitting process and approval is anticipated by the first quarter 2012
-
Following approval of the PEIS, a complete Environmental Impact Study (EIS) is required to be lodged. Work on the EIS has already commenced
-
In parallel to the MEC, there are various government department approvals involved in the permitting process which include:
-
Ministry of Finance – responsible for taxation and accounting matters;
-
–
-
IGME (the government Geological Survey organisation) responsible for technical advice to government;
-
– Ministry for Agriculture – responsible for the management of forest or forested areas;
-
–
-
Ministry of Defence responsible for the authorisation of mining activities in border areas;
-
Regional authorities – Involved in the permitting process, particularly on environmental matters at the regional and local level
-
GLY Management recognises that proposals to establish a gold mining industry in the Thrace region have raised issues and concerns among the people of the Sappes area in the past. In particular community concerns have been raised over the use of cyanide, which has now been removed from the processing circuit.
-
It will be GLY’s company policy to maintain an open and co‐operative relationship with all levels of society (statutory, regulatory and social). By maintaining and strengthening such relationships throughout the life of the project such concerns can be expected to diminish and permitting achieved
==> picture [69 x 73] intentionally omitted <==
Potential Socio‐Economic Benefits
The development of Sappes Gold Project is expected to cost $100m and will result in substantial benefits to the Greek community highlighted by:
Company taxes of approximately US$80+ million
Mineral royalties of approximately US$12 million
Social development funding to be spent in the Sappes area
Ongoing employment during production for approximately 200 people, representing approximately US$50 million in wages and salaries
Employment and training opportunities for the local population
Where available use of local contractors and subcontractors during construction and operations
Where available use of local professionals for the preparation of studies and other services
Improved infrastructure facilities that can potentially be utilised by the wider community once mining ceases such as the water storage dam and access roads

Mining & Processing
-
A production rate 200,000 tpa mostly from underground mining at Viper deposit and shallow open pit at St Demetrious deposit
-
The Sappes project will produce both gold doré and copper concentrate. Overall estimate of 80% recovery split between gold in concentrate of 65% and doré bar 15%
-
The treatment process is a single stage crushing, SAG milling with gravity gold removal, sulphide flotation with concentrate regrind and cleaning to produce a concentrate with a saleable copper grade
-
Gravity gold concentrates will be further upgraded prior to smelting to produce gold doré bars onsite
-
Gold doré would be exported, refined and sold in the international market
-
There are several overseas copper smelters suitable for processing the copper concentrate from Sappes.

Sappes Exploration Targets
==> picture [333 x 236] intentionally omitted <==
-
No exploration drilling since 1999
-
Viper Resource remains open along strike and targeted exploration can extend mineralisation
-
Shallow gold mineralisation intersected by drilling outside of the defined resource includes :
-
4.2m at 8.82g/t gold from 48.8m
-
– 4m at 5.85g/t gold from 6m
-
0.4m at 21g/t gold from surface
==> picture [333 x 235] intentionally omitted <==
-
Defined drill ready targets with potential to add to resource inventory
-
Surface geological mapping and geochemical sampling has defined targets at St Barbara‐ Galaxy that have similarities to the Viper zone with no previous drill testing
-
Geophysics highlighting key target areas – new techniques to be reviewed to improve drill hole targeting
==> picture [69 x 73] intentionally omitted <==
Market Comparison – Regional Projects
-
Dundee Precious Metals ¹: Dundee operates the Chelopech Gold Mine in nearby Bulgaria where copper concentrate containing gold, is periodically hauled out in trucks to a rail loading station and dispatched to the Port of Bourgas for sea transportation to the Tsumeb smelter in Namibia. Sappes will also produce a concentrate for shipment to a similar or the same smelter as Chelopech.
-
European Goldfields ²: Developing gold projects in Greece comprising the high grade 3.6moz Olympias gold project and bulk tonnage open pit 3.9moz Skouries gold project. Both received EIS approval in July 2011 enabling them to begin production which is anticipated for Quarter 1 2012. This EIS approval has set a positive precedent in Greece for the development of other gold projects such as Sappes. European Goldfields have already demonstrated their permitting and environmental capabilities as they are now producing at their zinc Startoni Zinc mine in Greece.
-
Eldorado Gold Corp ³: Has a Greek presence in their Perema Hill gold project, an epithermal non‐refractory 1moz oxide gold deposit with a low strip ratio which has submitted it’s PEIS and is currently awaiting approval.
