Yes, I too, thot Mali was coming onstream in a big way back in 94/95 as well. Nevsun has been tenacious, and has followed through. As such, they made a favorable impression on the Mali "minister of mines" and Craig's crew pretty much has the inside track on anything juicy opening up. Very Very interesting seeing they picked up the Keniba concession...that was Mink's dropped ball if you recall those times as I do. Keniba is juicy, no doubt about it. Rio Tinto has their eye on that region as well, having the only commercial placering technology division (Maylasian Mining used to be that R.T. division's name) to make a go of the huge alluvial deposits in some of the northern waterways on the Keniba. Trouble with Keniba is the terrible monsoons which make it darn near non-transversible during that time of year. Temp bridges just don't cut it as mink found out to their shareholders' dismay. And to put a major bridge in during a dry spell smack dab in the middle of the desert with not a drop in sight, while looking silly, is what is called for to get from E to W on the Keniba. Yes, Mali is one yet to be brought home. On the south eastern edge is the old Syama mine, first put into production by the Ruskies, de-commissioned, now dewatered and back into commission, and now I think mothballed if memory serves. Never too sure why that one is just a push-me/pull you project, but it may have something to do with the "democratic" government, and world bank boys' agendae. g_t
