ABC Project, Côte d’Ivoire
Overview
ABC Project, Côte d’Ivoire
The ABC Project, located in northwest Côte d’Ivoire, is a greenfield project with an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 2.16Moz. The Project is approximately 550km northwest of Abidjan and 460km west of the Doropo project.
The ABC Project currently consists of four exploration permits – Faraka-Nafana, Kona, Windou and Gbemanzo – all of which are 100% owned by Resolute.
The ABC Kona project is situated along the main Archean-Birimian Cratonic suture zone in western Côte d’Ivoire, specifically associated with the Sassandra Fault Zone. The existing inferred Mineral Resources Estimate is located on the Kona exploration permit.
Scoping Study (May 2026)
In May 2026, Resolute completed a Scoping Study is based on the existing 2.16 Moz gold MRE.
Key project operational and financial highlights from the Scoping Study are outlined below:
Inferred Mineral Resources
Potential Upside from Growth in Mineral Resources
- Based on drilling activities in 2026 mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike; drilling at Kona South extended mineralisation to the North and South, highlighting the potential for resource expansion
- Updated Kona Central and Kona South MRE expected in H2 2026
Next Steps
- Accelerate drilling efforts with a focus on infilling resource as well as resource expansion
- Optimize metallurgical test work to increase recovery rates of deposit
- Initiate ESIA and other required technical study work
- Site investigations and permitting to target completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) in 2027
- Based on potential size of the resource further work will be done to optimize the size of the processing plant in order to increase the ounce profile above 200 koz per annum for at least 10 years of mine life
