By Romel S. Gurky

ASX-listed West Wits Mining Limited continues to make progress at its Derewo River Gold Project, Papua Province.

It said in a statement that the miner has now established a permanent presence at the alluvial site. As previously highlighted, the company?s priority is to construct an airstrip to support the alluvial site.

Vin Savage, a director at the firm, has recently made a further visit to the site as a part of its socialization program which is progressing well.

Currently there are three surveyors on site and requisite support staff surveying both the airstrip and access roads between the airstrip, camp and initial alluvial operations.

Following that work a survey for the water supply infrastructure and storage facilities supporting the initial alluvial circuit will be completed. All of these surveys are contracted to be completed within 30 days.

It continues to engage with the Mines Department of Papua, the Forestry Department of Papua and the Governor of Papua?s office in order to expedite issuing the Forestry Permits. No further documentation is required to be lodged.
