Golden Star’s exploration budget in 2019 is $13.4 million, broken down to include $9.8 million at Wassa, an initial $1.5 million dedicated to Father Brown and $1.6 million at Prestea.
In 2019, drilling is focused on Father Brown and the Wassa Southern Extension in order to accelerate organic growth. The excess plant capacity available at the operations improves capital efficiency, therefore the Company expects a higher rate of return when developing these projects. At Prestea, the same optionality exists as throughput increases.
