“We have a portfolio of attractive organic opportunities within Sukari and continue to deliver successful results from our Cote d’Ivoire exploration programs,” said Andrew Pardey, chief executive officer. “Our balance sheet is strong with no debt, no hedging and cash and liquid assets of $327 million.”
