With gold production being resumed at Inata in Burkino Faso after an illegal strike costing nearly $12 million (£8 million), accident-prone West African play Avocet Mining (AVM) is also evaluating its other prospects, at Souma, 20km from Inata, and the Tri-K project in north-eastern Guinea. Partly because of the strike, the fully-listed company, whose shares have plunged from more than £2 five years ago to a mere 5.6p now, saw gold production from Inata slip from 118,443 oz. to only 86,037 oz. last year, well below a forecast 95,000 oz., at an average cash cost, before financing, of $1,187 an ounce, uncomfortably close to a current gold price of around $1,241.
