Name of the Project
Doropo gold project.
Location
Côte d'Ivoire, between the Comoè National Park and the international border with Burkina Faso.
Project Owner/s
Centamin.
Project Description
Results from the prefeasibility study (PFS) have demonstrated an economically robust project.
The project comprises 1 847 km2 and covers 13 gold deposits – Souwa, Nokpa, Chegue Main, Chegue South, Tchouahinin, Kekeda, Han, Enioda, Hinda, Nare, Kilosegui, Attire and Vako, with total mineral reserves of 40.55-million tonnes grading 1.44 g/t gold. Measured and indicated resources are estimated at 51.51-million tonnes grading 1.52 g/t gold and inferred resources at 13.67-million tonnes grading 1.14 g/t gold. The mine plan proposes the conventional openpit mining of a sequence of shallow pits.
Mineral processing will be undertaken through a 4-million-tonne- to 5.5-million-tonne-a-year semiautogenous grinding mill, ball mill and crusher circuit, and conventional carbon-in-leach circuit for an average life-of-mine gold recovery of 92%.
The PFS envisages average gold production of 173 000 oz/y over the ten-year life-of-mine, with an average of 210 000 oz in the first five years.
