The head of Endeavour Mining says the gold producer, which operates mainly in West Africa, will continue to return significant capital to its shareholders while growing its portfolio of low-cost, high-yield mining assets in the region.
“We’re a big player in the world’s largest producer of gold,” Ian Cockerill, the U.K.-based company’s CEO, told BNN Bloomberg in a Wednesday interview. “In the last eight years, we’ve delivered five projects on time and on budget, much quicker than anywhere else, so in terms of a place to work and operate, it’s great.
We have delivered good returns to our shareholders over that period as well. It all comes together in that part of the world.” Cockerill said that despite strong results in recent years, some investors are wary of companies that do business in West Africa, where violence and political instability has historically been more common than in other gold-producing jurisdictions.
