First gold under ownership
The company became an income-generating gold producer after completing the first gold pour at Morila Gold Mine in Mali under its ownership.
This follows the company, formerly Mali Lithium, completing the acquisition of an 80% interest in Morila earlier this month with the state of Mali owning the remainder.
Firefinch executive chairman Dr Alistair Cowden said: “We have been delighted at the smooth transition from Barrick management to Firefinch management at Morila and are especially pleased to be generating cashflow.”
