The company said it will begin site preparation immediately and it expects to receive the EPA certificate for the license in the coming weeks.

In addition, the Akrokerri license is expected to be renewed shortly, after which the company will evaluate historical drill data in order to determine if the data supports the estimation of an initial code compliant resource.

If successfully completed, this initial resource, due to its close proximity to Homase, will add to the Homase resource, the company said.

Progress is also being made at Manso Amenfi license, and soil sampling covering the entire permit area is progressing well and 1,460 of a total of 2,000 samples have already been delivered to the laboratory.
