Dome Gold Mines Ltd (ASX:DME) said that it was confident that its dredging plan at the Sigatoka River project will receive final approval from the Fijian government, according to a Thursday filing with the Australian bourse.
The company's unit, Magma Mines, has been selected to operate the government's emergency desilting program, the filing said.
While Dome has met all the project requirements, the company needs to obtain approval from fishing rights holders, who are expected to experience minimal impact from the dredging operations, the filing added.
A meeting with fishing rights holders and government officials is scheduled for February, the filing added.
Given the recent flooding along the Sigatoka River and government support, Dome remains confident that the final approvals will be granted, allowing the dredging plan to proceed, the company said.
