The Dominican Republic project is a unique opportunity for Unigold because of its exceptional geology and attractive business climate.
Mining has been targeted as an important industry, and in recent years the democratically elected government has liberated its tax, ownership, import restrictions, and mining laws in order to stimulate foreign investment.
