Geologist of Canadian/Aussie JV project murdered in Burkina Faso
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Predictive Discovery has announced the death of a senior employee of its Canadian joint venture (JV) partner, Progress Minerals, at the Progress JV in Burkina Faso.
Canadian geologist Kirk Woodman was kidnapped from an exploration camp in Burkina Faso on January 15, and his body was recovered on January 17.
The company told shareholders on Friday that it had not previously acknowledged the security incident at the request and advice of various governments involved.
Predictive noted that all local employees of the JV were safe and secure after the incident, adding that the company was monitoring the ongoing security situation in various regions of Burkina Faso, and would work with Progress Minerals to assess the implications for its local project activities.
The incident is not expected to affect any other Predictive operations or interests in the region.
Predictive holds a 49% interest in the Progress JV, which covers 11 exploration permits in eastern Burkina Faso.
