Perseus has been mining and producing approximately 200,000 ounces of gold per year from the Abnabna and Fobinso open pits on the western side of its mining lease since operations commenced at Edikan in late 2011. Clearing work and preliminary waste stripping activities in the Eastern Pits area will now commence and significant quantities of ore will start to be mined in the September quarter of 2015.
