Junior Gold M&A - B2 Gold to Acquire Papillon Resources $570m

So the rumour mill was right, Clive Johnson's B2 Gold are to acquire Papillon's high grade deposit in Mali which should add 300k low cost oz to production for near $300m additional build capex, near $900m in all. Together with the Volta acquisition in Burkina Faso this should make quite a centre in a relatively undeveloped and unexplored West African gold belt with political risk the key concern.
