Company Report

Perseus' Fair Value Increased, but Elevated Gold Prices Make Shares Expensive

Perseus Mining owns three gold mines in West Africa. All were purchased as exploration licenses or development projects. In 2004, the company purchased the Tengrela project in Ivory Coast that became its 86%-owned Sissingue mine. The exploration license that became its 90%-owned Edikan mine in Ghana was bought in 2006, with its 90%-owned Yaoure mine in Ivory Coast acquired as a development project via the merger with Amara Mining in 2016.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Perseus’ strong balance sheet means it is well placed to purchase or develop additional mines.

Bears

With only around a decade of reserves at the end of June 2026, Perseus risks overpaying to discover, develop or buy replacement ounces.
