Gold was first exported from Fiji in 1932, from the mining operating at Mt Kasi, located in Yanawai, on Vanua Levu, the second largest island. Mining at Mt Kasi from 1932 to 1946, extracted ore principally from a large open cut with associated underground workings. Estimates of ore produced during the mining period vary slightly and an acceptable estimate would be 265 000 t of ore grading 7 g/t Au.Although there were numerous other gold discoveries in later years, the Mt Kasi and Emperor Discoveries remained the most prominent due to the quantity of gold they produced. The Mt Kasi mine briefly came back to life over the period 1996-1998 producing some 1,691 kg of gold and 122kg of silver from 789,817 tonnes of ore.Since then, the site has been under care and maintenance to support exploration activities by the lease holder, Burdekin/Audesso/Redbank Mines. More recently, the site is under government control in preparation for this tender process.
