Established, mid-tier gold producer
Golden Star has a 19 year history of producing gold in Ghana. We have two producing mines, Wassa and Prestea, in the south-west of the country, and in 2018 we expect to produce 225,000-235,000 ounces of gold at a cash operating cost of $790-830 per ounce. Ghana is a stable jurisdiction with a century-long history of mining and good existing infrastructure.
focused on cash flow genration
In 2018 Golden Star expects to become a primarily underground-focused gold producer. The company will target the high grade, high margin ounces that are anticipated to generate the strongest cash flow.
Strong exploration upside potential
Golden Star has significant potential to expand its Mineral Reserves and the lives of its operations through converting its Mineral Resources to Reserves. There is also substantial potential to expand our Mineral Reserves outside of the current resource area. Golden Star’s mineral concession areas cover approximately 85km of the 250km Ashanti Gold Belt. We have the largest land package of any company operating in Ghana, including the major gold producers.
Experienced management team
Golden Star has an experienced management team with a track record of discovery and project delivery. Sam Coetzer, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is a mining engineer by background with over 26 years’ experience. He previously worked for Kinross, Xstrata Nickel, Xstrata Coal and Placer Dome at open pit and underground mining operations.
Undervalued compared to peer group
Golden Star has significant potential for share price growth as despite our strong performance since the start of 2016, we remain undervalued compared to our peer group on a number of metrics. We intend to continue to increase our share price by developing a reputation for delivery.
