Dual-listed West Africa-focused gold producer Perseus Mining has reached several more milestones on the path to implementing its strategy of transforming into a multijurisdictional, multimine producer of more than 500 000 oz/y by 2021. In a statement released on Monday, the company said that full credit committee approval of a $60-million project debt facility had been received by Macquarie Bank and BNP Paribas, the prospective lenders for Perseus’s Sissingué mine, in Côte d’Ivoire.
