Steven Poulton, Chief Executive of Altus, commented: “We are delighted to have been granted a mining licence at our Diba gold project in western Mali. This endorses our royalty generation strategy of adding value to our project portfolio through de-risking and technical validation before transacting with third party developers. With the expiry of the current exploration licence, the mining licence provides the company with long-term security of tenure for the project. This is especially important as an updated MRE and PEA for the combined Diba and Lakanfla project is underway and is due to be published in the next three months. I look forward to updating shareholders on these studies in due course.”
