West African gold mining resource developments

Overview

Gold mining projects in West Africa are reporting significant resource developments. In Mali, Toubani Resources announced high-grade gold assay results from its pre-production infill drilling at the Kobada Gold Project. The company is currently updating its mineral resource estimate, with plans to update ore reserve estimates and mine plans in late 2026 to target mining commencement in early 2027.

In Guinea, the Kada gold project has increased its mineral resource estimates to 2.08 million ounces, up from 923,000 ounces reported in 2023. A significant portion of these resources is now classified as ‘indicated’. This technical progress occurs as the Guinean government seeks to prioritize local refining to manage the sector, where artisanal gold exports have recently outpaced industrial mining exports.
