**Goldplat Plc** ([LON:GDP](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/company/goldplat-plc/gdp.l))
CEO Gerard Kisbey-Green talks to DirectorsTalk about a very upbeat update that was
announced this morning. Gerard explains the implications now that a new Mining Charter
has been announced in South Africa, elaborates on the progress being made at the
Kilimapesa Gold mine, the rationale behind the purchase of another elution plant
and also comments on the progress in South America.

**Gerard Kisbey-Green, Goldplat Plc CEO commented**. “Kilimapesa is now operating
profitably and at the increased rates targeted for Stage Two.  This, together with
continued steady and positive progress in South America, means the overall performance
of the Group remains positive and in line with market expectations.  Looking closer
at South Africa, as we do not expect the new 2017 Charter to have a significant 
impact on our business, GPR will leave the ongoing negotiation process in the hands
of the Chamber of Mines and the larger industry players, and we will continue to
focus on issues over which we have more direct control, including continued focus
on increasing operational efficiencies and ultimately profitability.”
