The Sadiola gold mine in Mali, operated by Allied Gold, produced 94,515 ounces in the first half of 2025, a 5% decline from the 100,114 ounces recorded during the same period in 2024.
The decrease reflects consecutive production drops at Sadiola over the two quarters. In its operational report released on Wednesday, August 6, the Canadian company said it produced 49,283 ounces between March and June, compared with 51,784 ounces a year earlier. In the first quarter, output was 45,232 ounces, down from 48,330 ounces in 2024.
Allied Gold has not yet disclosed the reasons for the lower half-year output. However, the decline comes in a generally stable context for the group, whose overall production rose 1%, supported by output from its Bonikro and Agbaou mines in Côte d’Ivoire. The company expects improved results from Sadiola in the second half of the year, with the first phase of the mine’s expansion set to start by the end of 2025.
The expansion aims to turn Sadiola into an asset capable of producing an average of 300,000 ounces of gold annually. This growth path is expected to begin this year, with Allied Gold targeting between 200,000 and 205,000 ounces in 2025. In 2024, Sadiola delivered 193,462 ounces, just short of its initial 195,000–205,000-ounce target.
