KEFI operates two advanced gold development projects in the Arabian-Nubian Shield, with an attributable two million ounces (Moz) (95% of Tulu Kapi’s 1.9Moz and 40% of Jibal Qutman’s 0.6Moz) Au Mineral Resources, in addition to significant resource growth potential.

The company aims to set production rates at these projects at a level to generate cashflows for further exploration and expansion.
