NOTES TO EDITORS
Avocet Mining PLC ("Avocet" or the "Company") is an unhedged
gold mining and exploration company listed on the London Stock
Exchange (ticker: AVM.L) and the Oslo Børs (ticker: AVM.OL). The
Company's principal activities are gold mining and exploration in
West Africa.
In Burkina Faso the Company owns 90 per cent of the Inata Gold
Mine. The Inata Gold Mine poured its first gold in December 2009
and produced 74,755 ounces of gold in 2015. Other assets in Burkina
Faso include five exploration permits surrounding the Inata Gold
Mine in the broader Bélahouro region. The most advanced of these
projects is Souma, some 20 kilometers from the Inata Gold Mine.
The Company also holds an interest in the Tri-K project in
Guinea. On 10 October 2016, the Company announced that it had
agreed to dispose of 40 per cent of the project to Managem, a
Moroccan group listed on the Casablanca stock exchange, which
remains subject to approval by the Guinean National Assembly, and
which will increase upon completion of a bankable feasibility study
for a CIL plant at the site, the incurring of expenditures of at
least US$10 million, and the enlarging of the ore reserve, to 70
per cent (in the event of an increase of the reserve to 1 million
ounce or more) or 60 per cent (if less than 1 million ounces).
