RE:RE:RE:Dark Political Clouds....No. This is just a distraction.
Happens all the time in African countries. Presidents come and go, coup or election, delay or on time, Russian France US China Swiss interests...none of that matter. Operations is not going to be effected. We are so far away from all the fighting.
No union / misguided enviromentalists + Low cost is what investors care about.
IF Goita is lucky enough to cling onto power, it will be from a coup and so fragile that he won't do anything seiously out of line to bring certain sanctions upon himself. He will walk the fine line which is what he's doing now....talking to every power to bargain the best support from every one. The Feb 2022 election will be delayed for whatever reason (ebola, logistics...etc.) It'll be business as usual. At some point there will be a contested election. Some fighting. Look at the DRC. None of that matters. It's business as usual for whoever is in power when it comes to the golden cow.
What I see is potentially a positive from this news is two-fold:
1) that Goita may actually be able to bring stability to the country and stop the fighting (that doesn't effect B2 anyways).
2) is more subtle. Usually the government targets the miners when they have consolidated power and nothing else to do. The in-fighting makes all the actors more dependent than ever on the steady income that B2 and other miners provide. The last thing Goita (or whoever comes Feb 2022) wants is to disrupt social/business relations/revenue stream. They have bigger problems on hand.
