We are encouraged by multiple intercepts of high-grade gold-silver mineralization being encountered in individual drill holes on the west end of this area. We await assay results from more step-out drill holes and expect to report these results as soon as they become available. 

Ongoing drilling has now defined the Guadalupe East vein group length over 420 meters and the total strike length of the Guadalupe East vein system now over 1,000 metres.” ...

Newmont Africa said it was the first mining company to respond to the central bank's initiative with a first sale of refined gold in May 2022.

Ghana's central bank is seeking to raise the gold component of its reserves in a bid to strengthen the West African country's local cedi currency without increasing inflation.
