Perseus Shares Benefitting From Elevated Gold Prices, but Short Reserve Life a Headwind

Perseus Mining owns three gold mines in West Africa. All were purchased as exploration licenses or development projects. In 2004, the company purchased the Tengrela project in Ivory Coast that became its 86%-owned Sissingue mine. The exploration license that became its 90%-owned Edikan mine in Ghana was bought in 2006, with its 90%-owned Yaoure mine in Ivory Coast acquired as a development project via the merger with Amara Mining in 2016.
