Resolute Mining, the Africa-focused gold miner, is pleased to announce that the Council of Ministers has announced the award of the mining permit for the Doropo Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire.
The mining permit is valid for 14 years with the ability to extend. The Doropo mining permit advances Resolute’s goal of becoming a leading multi-asset gold producer in West Africa. This milestone underpins the Company’s strategy to grow annual gold production above 500 koz by the end of 2028 and validates our commitment to disciplined growth and shareholder value.
The development of Doropo not only supports Resolute’s ambition to deliver strong financial returns but also positions the Company to unlock further opportunities for expansion and value creation throughout the region.
Chris Eger, Managing Director and CEO commented: “We are very pleased to be awarded the mining permit, which marks a significant milestone in the development of the Doropo Gold Project and reflects the strong support we have received from local and government stakeholders. We look forward to unlocking value for our stakeholders by progressing the Doropo Gold Project towards construction in H1 2026. The recent DFS outlined the extremely strong economics of the Doropo Project with a post-tax project NPV5% (100% basis) of US$2.5 bn at a gold price assumption of US$4,000/oz with significant upside potential. We are excited by the Company’s path to becoming a highly diversified gold producer across multiple assets and countries. The addition of Doropo is a key part in being able to reach the target annual production of over 500 koz per annum by the end of 2028.”
