Akobo Minerals announced that it has broken ground at its Segele gold mine. This marks an important milestone on the path to gold production in early 2023. As well as ongoing mining development activities, the coming weeks will see the progression of civil engineering and construction of support facilities.

The company also expects major equipment for the processing plant to be received shortly. The primary short-term tasks for the newly arrived contract mining staff from IW Mining will be to work with Akobo's engineers to develop the box cut for the incline shaft. The box cut is a small open cut built to supply a secure and safe entrance as access to a slope to an underground mine.
