Sabodala Gold

The Sabodala Gold Operation, which poured its first gold in March 2009, is located 650 kilometres east of the capital Dakar within the West African Birimian geological belt in Senegal, and about 90 kilometres from major gold mines and discoveries in Mali.  The area has only recently been opened for mining and exploration and is emerging as a significant new gold camp, with more than 10M ounces of resources already discovered.

With 3.5M ounces gold resources and 1.6M ounces gold reserves, the operation has a mine life of ten years.  170,000-180,000 ounces of gold is forecast for production in 2010, processed at the Sabodala world class 2Mtpa plant.  The company is currently expanding its plant to double capacity which is due for completion mid 2011.
