"Many major aspects of construction are nearing completion; phase 1 grade control drilling at Mansounia is complete and has returned high-grade gold results as reported earlier this month, with drilling now under way at Sabali. Other components of the project, such as our tailings storage facility, are under way and progressing well.

"Contractors including our mining and drill and blast teams are preparing to get to work on site, now that contracts are finalized, and their equipment is arriving on site so they can maintain our schedule for first gold."

Next steps

  • Complete all process plant and power station concrete;
  • Erection of main mill components;
