Nice to see, although they appear to have better grades than us, albeit with a smaller deposit.

True, I think its neat that they were able to get the mine up and running so quickly. The country has an interest in operating mines, so I think things happen more quickly in Burkina Faso than they might in another jurisdiction. Therefore, I believe that 2015 is a realistic timeframe that Volta has set for production at Kiaka.>
