New bauxite lease to XINFA Aurum Exploration to benefit villagers in Bua

A new mining lease has been granted to the XINFA Aurum Exploration Fiji Limited for the bauxite mining site in Lekutu, Bua.

XINFA Managing Director, Sireli Dagaga confirmed the news further saying that 20 landowners would be employed by the company from the Mataqali Naita in Votua Village and the Mataqali Naicobo in Nawailevu. The work is due to commence next month and more youths from these two villages would be employed said Dagaga.

Some of these people had also been hired as a part of a rehabilitation programme at Nawailevu after the first bauxite project was completed two months ago, where 35,000 pine trees were planted at the mining site post completion of mining.

Mereseini Vuniwaqa, the Minister for Lands and Mineral Resources said that the villagers will gain from the new investment as well as expressed her gratitude for the company for “the big investment they have put into the lives of the people of Nawailevu and Bua.”
