World Bank member invests in Aureus Mining’s Liberia mine in wake of Ebola

World Bank Group member the International Finance Corporation (IFC) has invested about £5.3-million (C$10-million) in TSX- and Aim-listed Aureus Mining to support an optimised plan for the New Liberty mine project, in Liberia, in the wake of the Ebola crisis. The IFC said on Wednesday that the equity financing would help Aureus cope with additional costs, as a result of operating throughout the Ebola outbreak, and supported the company's ongoing work in Liberia, a country actively seeking to use its natural resources for long-term economic growth.
