Australia's largest gold producer and one of the world's top 10 gold mining companies, Newcrest Mining Limited is to begin exploration work at Mt Kasi in Fiji in two weeks.
FijiLive reports the Lands Permanent Secretary Filimoni Kau, as saying the Fiji government has given a license to Newcrest to begin exploration.
He says if there are enough resources then Newcrest will continue and which will mean a huge investment for Fiji.
Newcrest is currently exploring for gold and gold-copper deposits in Australia, Indonesia, the United States, Canada and Peru.
