Mining Review – Weekly Update 2nd May 2021

 

Roxgold have been bought out by Fortuna Silver in a C$888 million deal. This looks opportune, as Roxgold were bringing their new Seguela mine into production next year, when production would have increased exponentially.

This really disappointed me because management were running ROXG so well in my opinion, growing organically funding both the construction of Seguela, and further exploration on all their projects.
