Etruscan is uniquely positioned for growth in Africa having operated on that continent for over 14 years. Etruscan has a growing gold production profile from two properties (Youga, Burkina Faso and Agbaou, Côte d'Ivoire). This production is only the beginning of the Etruscan story. Etruscan holds strategic land packages in West Africa on a number of known gold belts covering over 10,000 km2 in four countries. This package represents one of the largest land packages held by any company operating in West Africa with only a small fraction of the holdings presently being developed. Etruscan also has a growing diamond production profile in a proven diamond district in South Africa.
