Benoit Desormeaux, president and CEO of SEMAFO, stated: “Our contemplated acquisition of the Karankasso property reflects our core strategy of creating long-term value through developing and operating high quality assets. The transaction would provide a consolidated district-scale land package in a country we know well and on the prolific Houndé Greenstone Belt, which we also know very well. We see excellent potential for resource growth on the combined 1,250 km², and if this transaction is consummated we anticipate the combined property will head up our development pipeline.”
