Kefi Gold and Copper, an AIM-listed company, is making significant strides towards launching its Tulu Kapi gold project in Ethiopia, slated for mid-2024. This project, which is situated in a high-grade gold zone with 1.72 million ounces at 2.65 grams per ton, is poised to become a cornerstone of Ethiopia’s mining sector and a substantial economic contributor.
The company recently updated its progress, indicating that the finance syndicate board processes are on track with final (conditional) approvals expected in May. These approvals are crucial as they pave the way for project initiation, currently scheduled for production commencement in mid-2026. The project’s timeline aligns with a period of renewed positivity in Ethiopia, following a series of challenges in recent years that have affected the broader economic landscape.
