Mark Bristow, CEO of Randgold Resources Limited (GOLD), said the company is on track for record production in three successive quarters from its Loulo-Gounkoto complex in Mali. He was speaking at the Denver Gold Forum in Denver, Colorado.
Gold production at the Loulo-Gounkoto complex in Mali is driven by underground mines developed at Yalea and Gara, Bristow said. A pastefill plant was completed at Yalea, while a pastefill at Gara is scheduled for commissioning in Q3. Randgold financed and built the Loulo operation, which started as two open pit mines in November, 2005.
