Greatland Gold (AIM: GGP) announced that work has started at the Havieron gold-copper project in Western Australia’s Paterson region, its joint venture with giant Newcrest Mining (ASX: NCM). 

Following the receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals to commence construction activities, early works were launched by Newcrest, which operates and manages the JV. Earlier this month, Newcrest’s board of directors approved a construction spend of A$146 million (about $112m).
