The purpose-built facility includes Fortescue’s planning, operations and mine control teams, together with port, rail, shipping and marketing teams.
In an industry as rigorously competitive as the gold production, Anaconda Mining Inc is a company of exploration that fundamentally strives for stability.
The importance of mining to the economy of the Dominican Republic cannot be understated. Figures recently released by the consulting firm Analytica bear this out; over the past 8 years, mining has represented 17% of the country’s FDI (foreign direct investment), 36% of its exports, and 17% of its receipts from direct taxes owing to employment.
The exponential growth of Zambia’s mining industry over the past 25 years is as much a testament to the world class service providers in the country, as the country’s vast mineral reserves. One such service provider is Quattro, Zambia’s most respected transport provider to the country’s burgeoning mining industry.
In an industry as rigorously competitive as the gold production, Anaconda Mining Inc is a company of exploration that fundamentally strives for stability.

In the midst of all this, it can be easy to forget that Shanta Gold is now heading up three projects, with a third at Singida in Tanzania. Of this, Mr. Zurrin says: “At Singida, we’re also looking to begin construction, so that is very meaningful to our story, because in 2022, it should mean that we’ll be producing 220,000 ounces. All this is going on at the same time as Luika, our main asset. I think we’ve now drilled 25,000 metres. And there’s a lot to look forward to from that asset as well.”
The journey we’ve just described is a remarkable one, but what does it mean in practical terms? Mr. DePablos Souza reels off a list of statistics, as if they’ve been at the top of his tongue since the beginning of the interview. Among them: 3Q is the fifth largest project in the world measured by brine deposits, 3rd in the world in terms of brine concentration, and the world’s purest in terms of combined sulfate and magnesium impurities.
For the layperson, it can sometimes be difficult to grasp the scale of the mine with mineral output so a few more statistics are indicative; Peñasquito Mine has an on-site airport and a 1,900-bed camp with full dining, laundry and recreational facilities
