Following the temporary cancellation
of mining licenses in Mongolia this summer, Centerra Gold announced
Tuesday that it had reached agreements with Mongolia to assure the continuation
of their mining activities.
Centerra has agreed to paying
higher corporate taxes to the Mongolian government in exchange for continuing
rights to mine the Boroo gold deposits.
"We believe that we're
now firmly on track," Centerra official Len Homeniuk told the Denver
Gold Forum.
"We have given a little
bit up ... nevertheless, to have this stable environment going forward
is very gratifying. It's allowed us to sleep at night and to focus on
what we should be doing, which is mining and exploring and growing our
company," Homeniuk said.
"We're optimistic that
at the end of the year we'll come up with a new revised mine plan and
guidance for 2008 that will be better than we expected, making our current
estimates somewhat conservative," he said.
