Hung up on a name

摘要

Tawana Resources Ltd challenged negative perceptions of Liberia when it headed to the West African nation in December 2010.With explorers hesitant to make an entry, Tawana proved to the market that an ASX-list-ed small-cap explorer could get in there and make the most of a first-mover advantage."People have now realised that the conflict all ended almost 10 years ago and certainly the country has come along. Infrastructure is still a bit poor, certainly, but you can still walk around there and get things done," managing director Len Kolff told Paydirt.A small group of resources companies make up the country's minerals sector and together have shaped a new image of the Li-berian mining industry.
