RE: New Mali mining law…15 Jul 2023 22:20
Lots of positives for the mining sector in that article, I didn't see at as an over reaching government grab at all.
10% plus a community 5% is aligned more with Guinea and is still considerably more favourable compared to a lot of other mining jurisdictions.
Also the right to buy 20% could potentially be a real boon for any project that is transitioning from explorer to post DFS. Potentially good news for Cora too, quicker they sort out this new legislation the quicker they'll get back to granting licences again.
I've seen loads of potential assets take a company down, because of funding issues post DFS. A willing partner for 20% at the right time can often be the difference of failing and succeeding. Look no further than Koroussa as recent evidence of that. Not only did Cassidy gold fail with it but it nearly took HUM out with a little help from Yanfolila not playing ball, enter CIG to save the day.
