What is your rationale for taking part 121 Mining Investment?
We are looking to meet institutional investors as well as retail. We do not have an equity raise coming but we will be raising construction debt financing before the end of the year which, depending of the lenders requirements might involve alternative funding of which equity might be an option.

What are your key goals in 3 months, 6 months, 12 months?
3 Months:
Continue drilling activity at Kiniero, and start early preparatory work for final investment decision (FID) in Q1 2023 Closing of a bridge financing to start construction of the Kiniero Project
6 Months:
(i) Finalising the Kiniero Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), and (ii) close the full financing package
12 Months:
(i) First gold poured at Kiniero in H1 2024, and (ii) graduate from the TSX-V to TSX
What do you see as the key risks and challenges facing your company at the moment and how are you overcoming these?
Integrating the new company and the teams to quickly reach construction decision for the Kiniero project. We have been working for over 6 months as one company to compile all the technical reports into one. We have already hired very senior staff to increase the bandwidth and the skill set of the management team.
What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?
We have the largest management detention in the mining industry and we have acquired a district scale asset in Guinea. We will aggressively progress the project with our cash flow and corporate debt to minimise shareholder dilution. Our ambition is to become a multi asset gold mining company with local content at the heart of our strategy. This business model allows us to develop overlooked assets and create returns for all stakeholders.
