The Khamkeut Saen-Oudom (KSO) Gold Mine Project is a significant gold mining operation in Laos, located in the mountainous Bolikhamxai Province near the Vietnamese border, owned and operated by the Lao Phonesack Group, using advanced equipment like Sepro Falcon Concentrators for processing and targeting orogenic gold deposits within the Truong Son Fold Belt. The project involves substantial infrastructure, including large grinding and milling equipment, processing complex sulfide-associated gold ores for export. 

Project Details

• Location: Khamkeut District, Bolikhamxai Province, bordering Vietnam.
• Operator: Phonesack Group (Khamkeut Saen-Udom Gold Mine).
• Geology: A orogenic gold deposit within the Truong Son Fold Belt, containing gold associated with sulfides (pyrite, arsenopyrite, etc.) and quartz.
• Processing: Utilizes conventional milling and flotation, with equipment from suppliers like Sepro Mineral Systems Corp.
• Equipment: Includes large ball mills and numerous Sepro Falcon Concentrators for processing ore.
• Scale: A large-scale project with a significant mining area, involving extensive processing capacity (e.g., 400TPH per concentrator). 

Operations

• The operation involves open-pit mining and processing to produce a copper and precious metals concentrate.
• The concentrate is trucked for export to smelters, primarily in Asia via Vietnamese or Thai ports. 

Significance

• It represents a key part of Laos's developing gold mining industry, attracting significant investment in infrastructure and technology.
