OceanaGold declares commercial production at Haile

OceanaGold declared commercial production at the Haile gold mine, in South Carolina, on October 1 – less than two years after taking ownership of this world-class asset, the Melbourne, Australia-based miner reported on Wednesday. The dual TSX- and ASX-listed company said that all aspects of the operation, which it acquired through the C$856-million acquisition of Canadian project developer Romarco Gold at the end of 2015, have been transitioned to the operations team, while the commissioning team has been demobilised.
