Bankers Strategic Change 2019
Due to the volatility in the metals and equity markets and in Africa, Bankers has changed its strategy to one of being more nimble, lower overhead cost, and creating value in the shortest time frame at the lowest cost adding value to stakeholders promptly and efficiently
The change in strategy has resulted in an 80% reduction in overhead cost
Portfolio adjusted to avoid all high cost concessions that do not have short term value
Increased focus on Namibia to continue to diversify risk
Focus in DRC on more advanced projects with near term cash flow potential
Pursue projects with existing and expandable resources
