Resolute’s mineral resource estimate in Côte d’Ivoire 60% higher than historical estimates
Resolute Mining, an Africa-focused gold miner, is pleased to announce an initial mineral resource estimate (MRE) of 643 koz of contained gold at the La Debo Project in Côte d’Ivoire. This is 60% larger than historical estimates.
La Debo is a strategically important jurisdiction for Resolute and a key exploration asset in Côte d’Ivoire. The higher MRE was achieved through exploration success at the G3S prospect on the La Debo permit. The focus of future exploration is on extending the high-grade mineralisation at G3S as well as drill testing targets in the south-western half of the permit.
In October 2025, Resolute was granted two new exploration permits, Serihio and Okroyou, that are contiguous to the south of the La Debo permit. Resolute plans to start exploration across these permits in 2026 and sees potential for the resources at the La Debo project to expand further. Depending on results, the MRE may be updated in late 2026.
Resolute has over 7 Moz of gold resource across three assets in Côte d’Ivoire. Doropo is the most advanced project with an updated feasibility study expected in December 2025. Following this and granting of the exploitation permit, construction is planned to commence in 2026 with first gold production in 2028.
Its other exploration project in Côte d’Ivoire is the ABC Project which has a current MRE of 2.2 Moz. An exploration program consisting of approximately 25,000m of RC drilling has commenced and will continue over the next six months. Exploration remains central to Resolute’s growth strategy and a key driver of long-term shareholder value.
The company’s ongoing exploration programs are designed to expand resource potential extend mine life, and unlock new opportunities across its portfolio. In addition to the active exploration campaigns in Côte d’Ivoire, it expects to announce updates on its exploration and mine extension activities in Senegal before year-end, reinforcing its commitment to sustained value creation through discovery and development.
