Chief executive Mark Bristow said this morning that access and security at and around the Tongon mine had thus far not been affected by the post election developments. He added that the reduced staff complement, put in place as part of the mine's election planning process, has continued given the events of the past week. While this has impacted on some of the construction work, the effect on the operation has been minimal. Tongon is situated in the north of the Cote d'Ivoire, 55 kilometres south of the border with Mali.
