RE:Papillion news may explain recent interest hereOf particular interest to MXI readers is a list of the companies identified in the article as potentially looking to buy in the area.
Besides Endeavour Resources:
"Other potential suitors include Randgold, a neighbour of Papillon in Mali; African Barrick, with former Intrepid Mines boss Brad Gordon in charge and said to be looking to give the company a shake up; and B2Gold, back on the acquisition trail after swallowing CGA Mining last year. One source tipped Independence Group as an outside runner, with new managing director Peter Bradford coming fresh from a West Africa merger between PMI Gold and Asanko Gold."
