RE:Headwinds=opportunity Thx for the clarifications Oska
Many mines, and potential mines, are in much safer areas of the country, especially to the west and in central BF.
I would expect that the various mining companies, no matter where they are located , will get together and collectively pressure the government to take more steps ( militarily) and not let things digress any further ( and to defend all borders .
The Govt will have to spend money ( tax dollars collected) to secure further investments , save the tax base and jobs ( and lives)
Unfortunately it will take some time for Semafo to recover as they suspend operations and figure out how to secure workers from future attacks.
There are very few completely safe countries to mine in outside of Canada, Australia and the US.
