Unigold is a Canadian-based mineral exploration company focused on the multi-million ounce Candelones gold deposits within the 100% owned Neita Fase II exploration concession located in Dajabon province, in the northwest part of the Dominican Republic.
In the third quarter of 2022, the company expects to deliver a feasibility study and a baseline environmental report for the Oxide portion of the Candelones deposit. The company applied to convert a part of the Neita Fase II concession into an Exploitation Concession in late February 2022. The application has moved smoothly through various permitting stages and the company expects that a decision will be given on the application in the third quarter of 2022.
Unigold has been active in the Dominican Republic since 2002 and remains the most active exploration company in the country. The Neita Fase II exploration concession is the largest single exploration concession covering volcanic rocks of the Cretaceous Tireo Formation. This island arc terrain is host to Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide deposits, Intermediate and High Sulphidation Epithermal Systems and Copper-gold porphyry systems.
Unigold has identified over 20 areas within the concession area that host surface expressions of gold systems. Unigold has been concentrating on the Candelones mineralization and is moving to bring these deposits into production.
