Avocet Mining

Avocet is a gold mining company that was originally admitted to the Official List of the London Stock Exchange in 1996 and moved its listing to AIM in July 2002. In December 2011, Avocet was re-admitted to the official list of the LSE, which is now its primary listing. Avocet's gold mining and exploration operations were historically located in South East Asia. In June 2009, Avocet acquired Wega Mining and, through it, operations in Burkina Faso, Guinea and Mali. Following this acquisition the decision was taken to divest of our South East Asian assets in order to focus on the highly prospective gold region of West Africa.
