Lewis & Co Mining Corporation’s Mogok Mines, located in Myanmar’s renowned Ruby Land region, represent a cornerstone of our gold mining operations. Since its inception, the Mogok Mines have played a pivotal role in our production strategy. The open pit operations began in 1980, leveraging surface-level deposits of gold and other precious minerals. These operations laid the foundation for what would become a significant mining venture, crucial to establishing our company’s presence in the global mining sector. In 1979, anticipating the depletion of surface resources and aiming to access higher-grade deposits, we transitioned to underground mining. This strategic shift enabled us to tap into more valuable reserves located deeper within the earth, ensuring a sustained and enhanced output of gold. Our underground operations have since become the primary focus, contributing significantly to our overall production capabilities. The targeted run-rate for gold production at our Mogok Mines is set at 200,000 ounces annually over the next 20 years. This ambitious target underscores our commitment to maintaining high production levels and meeting the growing demand for gold. As of 2023, our total in-site contained proved reserves of gold, as per CRIRSCO standards, stand at 2.5 million ounces, ensuring a substantial and reliable resource base for future operations. The Mogok Mines not only reflect our historical growth and adaptation strategies but also highlight our dedication to advancing mining technologies and practices. Our ongoing investments and innovations aim to maximize extraction efficiency and ensure the long-term sustainability of our operations.
