Mwana advances in the Congo

Mwana Africa increases the gold resource at its Zani-Kodo project in DRC by 41 per cent
February 22, 2012

Shares in junior miner Mwana Africa have started to re-rate on the back of good operational progress since we suggested buying them in December. Management has increased the gold resource by 41 per cent at the company's Zani-Kodo project in Democratic Republic of Congo, in which Mwana has an 80 per cent interest. The total resource there now stands at 2.0m ounces and, encouragingly for the company, that increase was achieved since July 2011.

At Mwana's operations in Zimbabwe, the Freda Rebecca gold mine is overcoming some processing issues following the start-up of a second mill, while efforts continue to finance the restart of nickel production at Bindura.
