Randgold’s Gounkoto Mine Officially Opens In Mali

Randgold Resources Limited (LSE:RRS) announced the official opening of the Gounkoto gold mine in Mali.

As quoted in the press release:

Gounkoto is Randgold’s fourth gold mine in Mali and while it is a separate corporate entity with its own mining licence, it is operationally linked to the company’s nearby Loulo complex, itself in the process of expansion.

Randgold Chairman Philippe Lietard commented:

Mali has shown in the past that it can work through its internal problems and come out stronger on the other side, and we believe it will do so again now, setting an example for other countries not only in Africa but across the world.
