Project Highlights
Located within 5 km from Nordgold's operating Bissa mine with key infrastructure already in place
Large ore body: 4.8 Moz at 0.56 g/t in M,I&I Mineral Resources and 1.7 Moz at 0.52 g/t in P+P Ore Reserves
Construction was completed on schedule in 13 months and under budget
Bouly mine reached full capacity just in two months after launch producing 124 koz of gold in 2017, which is
almost 5 times more than in 2016 (28 koz)
Feasibility Study with strong project economics: 40% IRR at a gold price of US$1,250/oz
Possibility of Life of Mine extension through processing of fresh rock ore resources and exploration at flanks
