Côte d'Ivoire: African Gold Targets 28 Tonnes of Gold Resources at Didievi Project

Côte d'Ivoire: African Gold Targets 28 Tonnes of Gold Resources at Didievi Project
Thursday, 10 April 2025 18:25

In July 2024, African Gold reported inferred resources of 452,000 ounces at 2.9 g/t gold for the Blaffo Guetto deposit within its Didievi project in Côte d'Ivoire. The company expects this figure to rise with additional drilling.

African Gold aims to expand the Didievi project's resource estimate to 1 million ounces of gold (approximately 28 tonnes). On April 7, the company announced plans to update the resource estimate at Blaffo Guetto in the second half of this year.

The initial estimate for Blaffo Guetto, released in July 2024, highlighted 452,000 ounces at 2.9 g/t gold. Although the company has not disclosed further details about the resource update, it raised $AU2 million ($US1.34 million) in August 2024 to fund a drilling campaign at Blaffo Guetto.

The update should help African Gold expand and refine Didievi’s potential. This strategy helps mining firms solidify exploration plans and assess economic viability before commercial exploitation. The company also plans prospecting campaigns at other sites, including "Tendance Poku," which it recently described as having "significant and expanding gold resources." Studies are also planned for Kouassi and Pranoi prospects.

Successful exploration and new discoveries could further boost Didievi's mineral resources.
