The Company has set a goal of being a +50,000oz per annum gold producer within two years, subject to study outcomes, via a low-cost heap leach starter project.

In February, West African announced it had secured a second-hand 1.6Mtpa heap leach plant as part of its plan to fast-track development of Mankarga 5.

The proposed project development schedule for Mankarga 5 and surrounding prospects is shown below in Table 1 in the full announcement. Click here to view the full announcement
