It added that it had not received any formal communication from the government in relation to a change to the status of its exploration permits in the country. It is seeking clarification from the relevant authorities as to the status of its exploration permits in Guinea.
The firm said it has been actively engaged with the Ministry of Mines and relevant authorities in the country to support its renewal applications for the permits.
