(Ecofin Agency) - Besides its Sadiola mine in Mali, Allied Gold manages the Bonikro and Agbaou mines in Côte d'Ivoire. These two mines delivered a total of 36,676 ounces of gold during Q1 2024.

Allied Gold produced 38,808 ounces of gold in Côte d’Ivoire in Q1 2025, against 36,676 ounces in Q1 2024, thus up 5% year-on-year. The Canadian mining company produced the ore from the Bonikro and Agbaou mines.

Bonikro delivered 19,671 ounces, beating last year’s 18,631 ounces. Agbaou produced 19,137 ounces, up from 18,045 ounces a year ago. Allied Gold credited the increase to higher ore grades from the WP3 pit and greater throughput at the processing plant. 

The company reported that its Côte d’Ivoire operations showed flexibility in extracting and processing ore from multiple sources, while ongoing stripping activities set the stage for higher production in the second half of the year.

Allied Gold set a 2025 production target of 175,000 to 195,000 ounces in Côte d’Ivoire. The company aims to produce 98,000 to 105,000 ounces at Bonikro and 77,000 to 90,000 ounces at Agbaou.

Achieving this plan would help Allied Gold reach its annual forecast of 375,000 to 400,000 ounces across its entire portfolio, which includes the Sadiola mine in Mali. Sadiola delivered 45,232 ounces in the first quarter.
