Bluebird Merchant Ventures Ltd. received confirmation that its joint venture with Southern Gold Ltd. was granted a permit to develop the past-producing Gubong gold mine in South Korea.
The company noted in its Sept. 10 release that the development permit is the first one issued by South Korea for a gold project since the 1990s.
In late January, Bluebird Merchant said it expected to receive permits in the first quarter to develop and mine the Kochang and Gubong gold properties.
