have faith in kev., page-43

Thanks Aptayl,

Interesting article, especially the relevant area in nearness to BGS :


" TMR: Randgold's other big project is its Loulo-Gounkoto project in Mali. How do you rate Mali after the recent disturbances?

AVD: There are areas of Mali that are still quite dangerous to operate in, but a lot of the trouble is regional, and there are lots of areas where miners are effectively getting on with business and doing quite well. In general, the situation there has quieted down. Companies need to have significant local knowledge to effectively operate in Mali, and they need to do their homework about its various regions. Companies that have stayed throughout the trouble have gained themselves a great deal of credit by sticking with Mali and not abandoning it, and I believe they will be rewarded by the new regime, which is very aware of the fact that it needs mining revenues to rebuild the country.
