Miner Goldplat seeks to tame Africa risk

Upheaval in Tanzania, where the government has made huge tax demands and seized minerals, has triggered changes in neighbouring Kenya, which should reassure the industry, said the CEO of Goldplat, which operates a gold mine there. Chief Executive Gerard Kisbey-Green said he was nevertheless seeking to diversify his portfolio to cover more African nations and to expand into platinum group metals as he strives to offset African risk.
