Environmental impact assessment

Project description
and objectives:

This project involves a senior loan (in parallel to a loan from Standard Bank) to ZAO Trevozhnoe Zarevo, a subsidiary of Trans-Siberian Gold plc (TSG) in order to part finance capital expenditure of the Asacha mining operation in Kamchatka. The Asacha gold deposit is on the Kamchatka peninsula, in the Far East of Russia, 150km by road southwest of the town/port of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatski (PK). PK is the major access point into Kamchatka, which has no road or rail links with the rest of Russia. The Feasibility Study for Asacha calls for underground mining of 200kt per annum. However, it is possible that the upper part of the orebody could be mined first using open pit methods.
