Côte d'Ivoire Complex
A SIGNIFICANT MINING COMPLEX IN A HIGHLY PROSPECTIVE GOLD REGION
CREATING SYNERGY IN OUR OPERATIONS
- Status: Production
- 2022 Production: 196koz

- Acquisition Date: 2019 & 2021
- Reserve Grade: 1.42 g/t
- Life of Mine: 7+ years
Comprising the Bonikro and Agbaou Gold Projects, the Côte d’Ivoire Complex consists of a set of open pit mines located approximately 20km apart. With 90% and 85% respective ownership of the projects, Allied has made significant progress in optimizing and integrating the two projects into a single business asset to capture synergies covering the highly prospective Greenstone Belt.
Since the Company took ownership, Allied has restored the open pits to design and replaced Mineral Reserve depletion. In addition, the company has expanded the exploration activities, providing significant potential to extend life of mine and driving higher material movements and grades to target a production growth of 200 koz per year.
The combined milling capacity and existing infrastructure including water supply dams, tailings storage facilities, access and site roads, power supply and accommodation facilities provides optionality and significant synergies.
This development has created a significant mining and processing complex in one of the most prospective gold regions in the world.
Operating in Côte d'Ivoire - Brimming with Untapped Potential
The Bonikro Gold Mine is located in the Goh-Djiboua District in southern Côte d’Ivoire and approximately 100km south of the capital Yamoussoukro and 214km northwest of the commercial capital Abidjan. The Agbaou Gold Mine is located 20km from the Bonikro Gold Mine, approximately 200km northwest of Abidjan.
The country is notably the world’s top cocoa producer but has also steadily increased its output of gold in recent years. The country is known to have one of the most attractive mining jurisdictions in West Africa and has a favourable regulatory, political and social environment.
