The problem is that a lot of the newer projects are lower quality in terms of scale, grade, metallurgy compared to deposits that were discovered 20 years ago.
It's entirely possible for a higher quality project to have a good AISC that is below majors etc. African projects tend to have better grade, be close to surface and with pretty good metallurgy.
