John Pearson (R), Centerra Gold company's Vice President Investor Relations, looks on at the gold-mining plant at the Kumtor mine in Kyrgyzstan May 31, 2011. With around 100 sizeable gold fields mapped -- but never tapped -- by Soviet geologists, the country is ripe for a mining boom. Gold has doubled in value since 2007 and prices around $1,500 an ounce could help resuscitate an economy that contracted 1.4 percent last year after the revolution and ethnic violence that killed hundreds.
