updates at the Sabodala gold mine in Senegal; PFS- and FS-stage resource modeling and estimation
at Baomahun in Sierra Leone; technical and financial due diligence for the Essase Gold Project in
Ghana; geological modeling and resource sign-off at Mandiana in Guinea; and maiden resource
estimation at the Kisinkala gold and copper project in the DRC. Additional major gold project
