AIM-listed Kodal Minerals (LON: KOD) share price is rising on Friday following its update on its gold exploration activities.
The company’s shares were falling this week after political upheaval in Mali. This could have impacted its Bougouni mine, however, in a statement today, Kodal said it continues to monitor the developments closely, but the country representatives and employees have said the situation remains calm and that commercial activities are continuing as usual.
Regarding Kodal’s gold exploration, it has commenced aircore drilling at the Nielle Project in northern Cote d’Ivoire. The 5,000m drilling programme is expected to take two weeks to complete, with samples submitted for assay at completion.
