Orezone Gold Corp boosted production and revenue at its Bomboré gold mine in Burkina Faso during the first half of 2025, supported by rising global gold prices. The mine produced 56,236 ounces of gold from January to June 2025, up slightly from 55,663 ounces in the same period last year, the company reported on July 8.
Orezone generated $177 million in revenue during the first half, up from $123 million a year earlier. The latest quarter alone contributed $94.3 million to that total. Higher gold prices and increased sales volumes drove the revenue jump. In Q2 2025, Orezone sold 28,265 ounces at an average price of $3,338 per ounce, compared to 25,524 ounces at $2,334 per ounce in Q2 2024.
“Q2 was another solid operating quarter at Bomboré, with gold production in line with plan. The Company remains well-positioned to achieve its 2025 production guidance of 115,000-130,000 ounces, with Q4 expected as the strongest quarter.” said Patrick Downey, CEO of Orezone.
The company plans to commission a new processing plant at Bomboré in Q4 2025, which should further lift output. Looking ahead to 2026, Orezone targets 170,000 to 185,000 ounces in gold production as it ramps up operations.
