Randgold upbeat on Tongon recovery

After spending the past year building a solid foundation for the future growth of the Tongon gold mine, Randgold Resources believes the Côte d'Ivoire-based mine will deliver on its design capabilities in 2015. CEO Mark Bristow said on Tuesday that a recovery programme, implemented in 2014, was producing “signs of improvement” in key areas, including throughput and recovery, with generally improving efficiencies and the curbing of costs.
