What do you see as the key risks and challenges facing your company at the moment and how are you overcoming these?

The market cap of the company does not reflect the underlying value of the Perron project therefore Amex is doing a lot of marketing, ie. interviews, conferences, meetings and articles to get the story out to as many people as possible.

 

What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?

  • Over 5Moz in Total Resources for the Koné Gold Project
  • Advanced project with production potential over >300,000 ounces per year
  • Control of a 2,258 sq.km district in a prolific gold producing region of West Africa
  • Lack of available projects of this size and quality for producers to acquire.
  • Management has a strong track record of significant value creation
  • Exceptional shareholder base including: Lundin, Zijin & Financing from Wheaton Precious Metals

  1. Very simple open pit project with scale and significant land package for exploration.
  1. Expected long mine life at low cost producing +300koz for +10 years.
  1. Led by one of the most successful management teams in West African gold.
