It develops and operates gold mines in West Africa, producing gold doré bars from ore mined at its sites.

Its customers are gold refiners and bullion markets that take the doré it produces.
The shares are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in Australia under the code WAF, and the price on this page is in Australian dollars (AUD). Our dividend records, which start in 2019, show payments in one calendar year. The Market X-Ray on this page is price-based and compares it with other stocks on the same exchange; it does not measure how healthy the business is.

What this score is, and is not
It describes how this stock has traded: trend, momentum, risk, liquidity and dividends, each ranked against the other stocks on its own exchange. It does not measure how healthy or cheap the business is. That fundamental X-Ray needs financial statements, which we do not have for Australia yet.

Signals describe what the chart is doing, not what to do. Moving averages: price above the average is bullish. Oscillators use the usual thresholds (RSI 30/70, Stochastic 20/80, CCI ±100, Williams %R −80/−20; MACD and momentum above zero are bullish). Weekly and monthly views use closing prices only.
