In the episode, we chat to Bert Monro, CEO of Cora Gold who are a UK-based AIM-listed company that is a gold exploration company with a focus on gold exploration in Mali and Senegal.

 

Bert has a strong background in Africa having spent over 10 years at Hummingbird Resources in senior management, so has a great understanding of how to develop gold mining assets in those regions. He shares what Cora is currently focusing on, explaining why and elaborating on the opportunities that still exist in the area and how investors and others can tap into them.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 
Cora is mainly a grassroots explorer making discoveries in West Africa.
The feasibility study for Sanankoro Gold Discovery is on track for delivery later in the year.
This project is fully financed, but investment opportunities still exist for the project.
Exploratory drills will be complete in July. So far, the results are excellent.
Much of the site is covered by free digging material, keeping extraction costs low.
Cora has 5 permits in the Sankara project area, but they also have permits in other parts of West Africa.
The engagement with the local community is good and ESG projects are progressing fast.
Cora is one of the first companies to get its exploration permit renewed, post the new mining code.
The pandemic threw up some curveballs, but the team has adapted well.

 

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘The thing we really like about Sanakoro is that you´ve got a lot of oxide material. ´

‘CoVid didn´t change the way we operated the business because we were working remotely before.’

‘Look to build the lowest cost operation possible … to maximize your margin whatever the gold price.’

‘I think gold equities offer investors great leverage into the gold price. ´
