"We have electricity and all the resources we need locally. And Ghana is a great country. We have an enormous depth of experience and education in terms of the personality and country."

"We do this by far, I think the simplest project in terms of being able to take it to production. It's a very straightforward operation." 

"We hope over time that we'll get that interest. And finally, this was a commitment we made to the government because this is one of their initiatives in terms of building Ghana to get more companies onto the exchange sooner."
