Burkina Faso : Ownership of Inata mine changes
Tuesday, 19 December 2017 14:06
On Monday, Avocet Mining has announced it has signed with the Balaji Group an agreement to sell it all its assets in Burkina Faso, including the Inata gold mine. The firm explained that the sale falls under its restructuring programme resulting from the non-payment of $28.7 million of loans contracted from Manchester Securities Corp.
Under the terms of the agreement, Balaji Group which already holds in Burkina Faso the Kalsaka mine, will pay $2.5 million once the deal is sealed on January 11, 2018. The remaining amount of the purchase, $2.5 million, will be paid in tranches. The Ghana-based group said it would invest $26 million to bring back the Inata mine to full production and develop the Souma deposit.
The Inata mine has produced in 2015, 74,755 ounces of gold. Besides Burkina Faso, Avocet Mining is also active in Guinea where it holds the Tri-K mine, a project with a mineral resource of 3 million ounces.
