Commenting on the development, Managem Group chairman and CEO Imad Toumi said: “The first gold bar poured at Tri-K is an important milestone in strengthening our gold strategy in Africa.”

Managem Group owns an 85% stake in Société des Mines de Mandiana (SMM), which owns the Tri-K mining licences. The remaining 15% stake is held by Guinean mining estate company Société Guinéenne du Patrimoine Minier (SOGUIPAMI).

In March 2021, Managem partnered with Wanbao Mining Group to jointly develop gold mining projects in Sudan.

Under the arrangement, Managem will have a 65% stake in the exploitation and exploration licence Block 15, as well as the associated Gabgaba gold mine and expansion project.

Within three years, the partners plan to complete a definitive feasibility study for the Gabgaba gold mine expansion project.
