With the acquisition of the Mato Bula and Da Tambuk mining licences, East Africa’s assets now include four, fully permitted gold and base metal mining projects in Africa with total indicated and inferred resources of 2.8 million gold and gold-equivalent ounces and exploration upside.
The mining licence agreements for Mato Bula and Da Tambuk have been formally approved by the Ministry of Mines Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoMPNG), the Prime Minister’s Office and the Council of Ministers. The Company will now focus on closing its previously announced project financing and proceed with the development of the Ethiopian projects.
