A new carbon-in-pulp processing plant in Fiji is set to increase gold recovery rates, according to reports from the Ministry of Lands and Mineral Resources.
The facility represents a targeted investment in processing efficiency, aimed at extracting more value from existing ore streams rather than expanding mine footprints.
The development arrives as gold prices have extended their recovery rally, gaining momentum as market participants recalibrate expectations for US monetary policy.
The rebound marks a significant shift from the bearish sentiment that had weighed on the metal in recent months.
With gold and silver prices moving higher in international markets, supply-side improvements in key producing regions like Fiji add a structural layer of support to the bullion complex.
Fiji’s mining sector has seen increased oversight from the Ministry of Lands and Mineral Resources, which is balancing regulatory scrutiny with support for capital investments that enhance operational efficiency.
