Switzerland is the world's largest refiner and exporter of gold and total exports from the country now stand at 1,197 metric tonnes for the year to date, up 3 percent from 1,160 metric tonnes in the same period of 2015.

Company Announcement
Wednesday, September 14, 2016

The primary objective of this year's drill program at North Dark Star was to expand the high-grade zone discovered in core hole DS15-13 (15.4 meters of 1.85 gold grams per tonne and 97 meters of 1.61 gold grams per tonne) at the end of last year's drill program. ...
