The site
How the site is worked.
Bavidili is an open-cut site in the Bafwasende Territory of Tshopo Province. Water is pumped to the working face to break down the laterite, and the slurry is directed through sluices at the base of the pit where gold is recovered by gravity.
The site is operated with local cooperative partners. BYM provides pumps, water lines, sluice equipment and supervision; the processing circuit is simple by design and can be moved as the working face advances.
