Miner West African Resources announced that it has completed fundraising (announced last A pril) of $12.5 million to finance an intensive drilling program at the Mankarga-1 prospect of its Tanlouka gold project, in Burkina Faso. To raise this sum, the firm placed 70,200,000 ordinary shares at $0.125 a share to both local and international investors.
