Bert Monro, Chief Executive Officer of Cora, commented, "This US$120 million gold stream is a transformational milestone for Cora, significantly de-risking Sanankoro, providing a fully funded development Project alongside our existing equity. Importantly, the flexibility within the stream structure allows us to optimise the financing package through the introduction of traditional debt, while retaining the Stream as a committed fully funded construction solution.
"Our September 2025 DFS, demonstrated the compelling economics of the Sanankoro Project, and we are now focused on advancing the Project into construction and ultimately delivering first gold. In parallel, we remain highly encouraged by the broader resource and greenfield upside across the project area and will continue to pursue a dual-track strategy of advancing development while systematically growing the resource base to support long-term production.
"EEA has proven to be a highly supportive and knowledgeable partner, following its recent £13.7 million equity investment and this Stream transaction, and we look forward to continuing this relationship as we progress permitting and advance the Project toward construction.
"As previously reported, permitting continues to progress well, supported by ongoing constructive engagement with the Government of Mali. As the final key regulatory step ahead of construction, permitting represents one of the last stages of de-risking as Sanankoro moves towards development."
