The story
Perseus Mining was incorporated on 24 October 2003 with the goal of acquiring, exploring and developing prospective gold projects in West Africa and the Kyrgyz Republic. It was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 22 September 2004.
In 2006, Perseus Mining was granted rights to acquire the Ayanfuri gold mine which had previously produced over 300,000oz of gold since 1994. The Ayanfuri gold project was later developed becoming the Edikan Gold Mine, Perseus's first operational mine.
