Successful Exploration at Perseus's Ivorian Gold Mines - Seite 3

“Perseus considers that organic growth through successful exploration, is the most cost-effective way to grow our business and to create value for stakeholders. To deliver this outcome, Perseus has been funding active exploration programs at all three of its operating sites including the Yaouré and Sissingué gold mines in Côte d’Ivoire and the Edikan gold mine in Ghana.

The encouraging drilling results reported today from our latest exploration campaigns conducted in and around the Yaouré and Sissingué gold mines, provide clear evidence that we are well on track to not only improve the quality of our existing asset base by extending the lives of each of these mines, but also maintaining Perseus’s targeted levels of combined gold production of more than 500,000 ounces of gold per year to the end of the current decade and beyond.”
