We chat with Michael Minosora, Chairman of Siguiri Gold who are focused on the exploration of the Siguiri Gold Project in Guinea, West Africa, where they are targeting low-cost production of a bulk-tonnage, at-surface open pit mining operation. Michael has extensive experience in both the professional services sector and the resources sector including as CFO of Woodside Petroleum Limited and Fortescue Metals Group Limited. He has also been Chairman of ASX-listed company Atlantic Limited and a founder of Bauxite De Kimbo Limited which developed a bauxite project in Guinea. On the show, Michael tells us more about the company & project, discusses their upcoming IPO to raise $10M, and highlights their explorations activities. KEY TAKEAWAYS Siguiri Gold is focused on low-cost production of bulk tonnage at surface open pit mining operations in Guinea, West Africa, near established gold mines like Anglo Gold Ashanti SAG mine. Siguiri Gold has conducted extensive drilling and soil sampling, with plans to deliver a maiden resource in the first quarter or first half of next year, showcasing the potential for high-grade gold deposits. Guinea is seen as a pro-mining jurisdiction with a straightforward approvals process, making it an attractive destination for mining companies looking for new opportunities. Siguiri Gold's upcoming IPO presents an opportunity for investors to capitalize on the company's potential growth, driven by ongoing drilling, reporting, and progression towards production. The focus for the next six to 12 months will be on continued drilling, reporting results, and advancing the project towards construction and production, marking an exciting phase for the company's development. BEST MOMENTS "I must say I'm a big fan of Guinea. It's a country that's been overlooked and I often muse to myself that people look at Africa and think of it as one country."  "What we do know now, and this was one of the great findings of PREDICT is if you go deeper and you're getting a fresh material, you actually often see a positive grade improvement and a significant improvement." "It is a project that will be a fast start. It is a project that doesn't have technological risk. It's simple."
