Now, we know why Q1 2016 production and cash cost guidance is poor. Hopefully, the illegal miners don't do that again.
In the finance report:
"In January 2016, the Namoya operations experienced a disturbance as a result of an incident involving an illegal incursion into
the Mwendamboko pit by artisanal miners. The incident was amicably resolved with the support of Maniema provincial
government officials and local community leaders, with the artisanal miners having left the pit peacefully. Unfortunately, an
individual was killed by the local Police detachment of the National Police of DRC (PNC) outside the mine footprint and prior
to the incursion. Some mining equipment was damaged during the incident which impacted operations for the period
immediately following the incident; however, repairs were carried out and available resources were redirected to mitigate the
impact. Production activities were impacted during the month of February 2016 and returned to expected levels during March
2016."
