Alecto bites the bullet

Mark Jones, chief executive officer of AIM dog Alecto Minerals (ALO), says the company is talking to present and prospective investors about funding a pre-feasibility study on its flagship 247,000-oz. Kossanto East gold project in the West African state of Mali now it has agreed to join forces with Canadian explorer Desert Gold Ventures to develop both companies’ projects in the area. With its shares down 90% in a lacklustre gold market to a barely visible 0.19p since floating on AIM in 2006, Jones warns ’it is unlikely Alecto could survive in the exploration space and so we have got to transform ourselves -- and that means going down the development path’ rather than expensively adding more ounces to potential resources.
