“Lycopodium has an experienced team based in Ghana who have delivered a number of plant implementations in the nation, including the recent expansion of Redback Mining's Chirano Project and the development of the plant for Newmont's Ahafo Project in late 2006”.

“We selected Lycopodium on the basis of their good reputation and excellent track record in the area. Given that we have already begun the process of purchasing long leadtime items including the SAG mill, we remain confident of becoming a gold producer by early 2011".
