• Sadiola mine output rose 7% year-on-year to 42,174 ounces in Q3 2025, marking the first quarterly increase this year.
• Allied Gold targets annual production of up to 205,000 ounces in 2025 and plans to lift capacity to 300,000 ounces per year after expansion.
• The mine expansion’s first phase is set for completion by end-2025.

Allied Gold’s Sadiola mine in Mali produced 42,174 ounces of gold in the third quarter of 2025, a 7% rise from 39,138 ounces in the same period last year. The Canadian company reported the figures on October 15 in its preliminary operating results.

This marks the first year-on-year quarterly increase in 2025, after weaker output in the first two quarters drove a 5% decline in first-half production. Allied attributed the improvement mainly to stronger ore contributions from the Stage 5 and Sekekoto West pits.

Allied expects new zones, including Sekekoto North, to further boost production in the fourth quarter. The company continues to advance the first phase of its Sadiola expansion project, which aims to raise the mine’s average annual output capacity to 300,000 ounces once completed by the end of 2025.

For the full year, Allied targets a maximum of 205,000 ounces, up from 193,462 ounces in 2024. Combining third-quarter production with 94,515 ounces from the first half, Sadiola has delivered 136,689 ounces so far in 2025.

Sadiola is one of Allied Gold’s key West African assets, alongside the Agbaou and Bonikro mines in Côte d’Ivoire. The Malian government holds a 20% stake in the mine, while Allied controls the remaining 80%.
