Volta sees Burkina Faso mine producing gold in 2014
CAPE TOWN Feb 1 (Reuters) - Toronto-listed Volta Resources (VTR.TO) expects a pre-feasibility study at its Kiaka gold mine in Burkina Faso to start second half of 2010, with first production at the mine seen in 2014, the CEO said on Monday.
"The pre-feasibility study will take between six and nine months, starting in the second half of this year, so I would assume mid-2011 it would be done," Kevin Bullock, Volta's CEO told Reuters on the sidelines of an Africa mining conference in Cape Town.
"Should everything advance I don't expect to be in production prior to 2014," he said. (Reporting by Wendell Roelf; Editing by James Macharia)
