Endeavour Mining has started production at its second gold mine in Côte d'Ivoire, Lafigué, which opened at the end of June. Together with its first mine in the country, Ity, these mines are expected to help the company produce between 1.13 and 1.27 million ounces in 2024 from its West African operations.
On July 30, Endeavour released its operating and financial results for the first half of 2024, reporting production of 182,000 ounces in Côte d'Ivoire. This puts the company on track to meet its goal of at least 360,000 ounces, or 10.2 tonnes of gold, for the year. All reported production comes from the Ity mine, which is expected to produce between 270,000 and 300,000 ounces this year.
Leveraging Lafigué, Endeavour eyes a maximum production of 410,000 ounces. The firm also operates gold mines in Burkina Faso and Senegal. This year, Endeavour seeks to produce 1.13 to 1.27 million ounces in West Africa.
