London-listed exploration firm Shanta Gold is eyeing three additional prospecting licences from Canadian miner Barrick Gold in the West Kenya project, once the seller receives operating approvals from the government.
Shanta took over Barrick’s Kenyan assets in 2020 at a cost of Sh1.4 billion which included rights to mine gold over a 1,161 square kilometre area straddling Kakamega, Kisumu, Siaya, and Vihiga counties.
