Perseus Mining, an African-focused gold production, development and exploration company, completed the acquisition of Orca Gold, a gold developer focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Africa, for $198m. “The potential acquisition of Orca represents a very exciting growth opportunity for Perseus that aligns with our strategy of upgrading the size, quality and geographic distribution of our asset portfolio. We have the financial capacity, technical expertise, and in-country relationships, in combination with Orca’s existing management team, to bring Orca’s Block 14 Project into production and in the process, create material benefits for all stakeholders including the government and citizens of Sudan," Jeff Quartermaine, Perseus Managing Director and CEO.
