Question: Joshua Mark Wolfson - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Continuing the theme on the Fekola questions. For the third quarter, should we expect a steady-state production over the duration of the quarter?
Or is there going to be any sort of commissioning-related downtime we should expect?
Question: Joshua Mark Wolfson - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Got it. Okay. And then for the Fekola Mine license, I guess, which is slightly adjusted for the solar project, and also looking at where gold prices are
today, when do you expect capital to have been repaid and the dividend start to be paid from that asset on a steady-state ongoing basis? .
Question: Joshua Mark Wolfson - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Yes.
Question: Joshua Mark Wolfson - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. And then last question on the commentary for Gramalote and looking at, I guess, what looks to be an optimistic outlook for that project. Is
there anything else within the portfolio today which could potentially sort of come up as a higher-priority opportunity? Or is it safe to say that, that
would be the #1 project? I asked just because the commentary on Kiaka was, I guess, more constructive in the current environment. And then
potentially, if there's been more work done for Anaconda, could that be the case? Or is that not sort of the case for maybe a mid-2021 time line for
Gramalote's decision?
