Gold deal shows it's business as usual in Burkina Faso

摘要

It is business as usual from both a business and political perspective in Burkina Faso, where London junior Alecto Minerals has snapped up a prospective gold project and a civilian has been sworn in as interim president. The market has reacted well to the smooth transfer of power in the west African country, with major gold producers such as lamgold, Semafo and Avocet Mining - the latter about to extend a neighbourly welcome to Alecto in the prospective Birrimian-age Djibo gold belt in northern Burkina Faso - all enjoying a return this week to the share prices seen prior to the October 31 coup that ended Blaise Compaore's 27-year rule.
