In about a year’s time, with its flagship Buckreef gold project in north-central Tanzania, Toronto-based TRX Gold Corporation morphed from a cash-burning junior explorer with a five-tonne-per-day pilot test plant into a cash-flow-positive gold producer with a 360-tonne-per-day plant on its way to becoming a 1,000-tonne-per-day operation later this year.
