Roxgold Inc. (TSXV:ROG) announced that it has been granted a 3-year extension to its 100% owned Yaramoko exploration permit in Burkina Faso, West Africa, by the Burkina Faso Department of Energy and Mines.
As quoted in the press release:
The exploration permit had an original expiry date of September 8, 2013 which has now been extended to September 8, 2016. The extension to the Yaramoko exploration permit, granted by the Burkina Faso Department of Energy and Mines, provides Roxgold with additional time in which to expand the existing 55 Zone, complete economic studies and submit an application to convert the area required for potential future operations to a mining permit. In addition, it enables Roxgold to continue its ongoing regional exploration program over the full 167 km2 permit area.
Roxgold President and CEO John Dorward said:
This extension, which is the maximum available, is a reflection of Roxgold’s significant investment at Yaramoko and further evidence of the Burkina Faso Government’s positive approach to encouraging mining development.
