Cobus Loots, CEO of Pan African Resources (LON:PAF; JSE:PAF) the dual listed African-centric, mid-tier gold producer, discusses how he intends to ramp production 20-30% this financial year whilst maintaining sector-leading shareholder returns. Cobus also discusses plans to expand the portfolio, funded from cashflow from the current flagship tailings retreatment plant Elikhulu at the long-established Evander Mines, which despite being mined since the 1950’s, still remains one of the World's largest unexploited gold ore discoveries. “The great thing for us is that we have a strong balance sheet and that's obviously despite the fact that we are commissioning and building these really large projects and we are paying a sector-leading dividend to our shareholders and have done so for many years. "Given the current gold price, I think it's fair to say that we're generating more cash than what we had expected or anticipated." commented Cobus Loots, CEO.
