The Ghanaian Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has approved the recommendation for the granting of a ten-year mining lease on Aim-listed GoldStone Resources’ Akrokeri and Homase licences, in Ghana.
The company now awaits the issue of a lease by the Ministry.
The lease represents an important step in the company's goal of bringing the Akrokeri-Homase gold project into production.
The Homase South pit is the first of three pits along the Homase Trend that GoldStone will bring into production, as detailed in a definitive economic plan that was published in June.
