EXPLORATION
Gold producer B2Gold has extended mineralisation at its Fekola mine 1 km to the north, with the positive drill results continuing to indicate potential for a larger openpit operation, that could justify a relatively low capital cost plant expansion from 5.5-million tonnes a year to about 7-million tonnes a year. Based on about 10 000 m of diamond drilling completed this year at Fekola North, the mineralisation is about 900 m north of the current resource pit boundary.
