Among the remarkable gold mineral deposits in Thailand, the ‘Chatree’ Gold Deposit, home to our Chatree Gold Mine, stands out as a prime resource with exceptional potential.
Situated on the periphery of gold mineral deposits spanning provinces like Loei, Phetchabun, and Prachinburi, the ‘Chatree’ Gold Deposit is regarded as the most promising among the five main lines of gold mineralization.
The Chatree Gold Deposit is a large, low-grade, low sulphidation epithermal deposit. Gold occurs in quartz-calcite-chlorite-adularia veins, breccias and stockworks hosted in Triassic volcaniclastics and epiclastic sedimentary facies.
Our commitment to responsible mining practices ensures that each ounce of gold extracted is done so with utmost care for the environment and surrounding community.
But our commitment doesn’t end there. We believe in the power of education and knowledge sharing. As leaders in the field of geology and mining, we take pride in our role as educators. Our expertise and experience provide the perfect platform for future geologists and miners to gain real-life, hands-on experience. Our mine serves as a living laboratory—a place where theoretical knowledge meets practical application.
We are proud to be at the forefront of gold exploration and extraction in Thailand. Through our dedication to innovation and continuous improvement, we aim to unlock new opportunities and promote Thailand as the Gold Hub of Southeast Asia.
Join us as we continue our journey towards sustainable mining practices and excellence in the field of geology.
Akara continues to strengthen its environmental, quality, and safety management practices, earning the Green Industry Certification Level 3: Green System from the Ministry of Industry.
Akara Resources Public Company Limited, operator of the Chatree Gold Mine, has partnered with Chulalongkorn University, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, and Suranaree University of Technology to transform mine tailings from gold and silver production into alternative materials and innovative solutions for the construction, energy, and community enterprise sectors under the Circular Economy concept. The collaboration focuses on developing low-carbon construction materials, biocement, and specialty cement for the energy industry to help reduce natural resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in support of Net Zero goals, while creating added economic value, generating income opportunities, and promoting sustainable community development.
Akara will proceed with filing an appeal against the judgment, as the Company believes that key evidence, scientific data, and expert opinions material to the case may not yet have been fully considered. The Company remains firmly confident that, throughout more than 25 years of operations, it has consistently conducted its business in strict compliance with applicable laws, environmental standards, and regulatory oversight by relevant government authorities.
