Early last week, the billion-dollar company announced it added considerable reserves to its Haile gold mine in South Carolina, U.S.
Specifically, a total of 60,000 new ounces of gold was added to Haile’s proven and probable reserves, and around 120,000 to its measured and indicated resource estimate. This has extended the Haile mine’s mine life to 2033.

At the end of the 2020 financial year, OceanaGold outlined its strategic focus for the near and long term is on its mining operations and investing in organic growth.
