Doropo, Côte d’Ivoire
Overview
Doropo, Côte d’Ivoire
In December 2025, Resolute updated the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) which outlines a robust, high-margin project with average annual gold production of 169,000 ounces (oz) at an all-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) of US$1,406/oz over a 13-year mine life. Resolute has received the Mining Permit, approved FID and is advancing construction in the first half 2026.
Doropo is located in north eastern Côte d’Ivoire approximately 480km north of Abidjan. The project has received regulatory approval for its Environmental and Social Impact Assessment and the environmental permit was awarded in June 2024.
The updated DFS envisages a multiple open pit operation mining shallow dipping gold structures. The carbon-in-leach processing plant outlined in the updated DFS has a 4.9 Mtpa of installed capacity for fresh ore and comprises a crushing circuit, a SAG Mill and gold extraction circuit.
Planned Activities
Throughout the remainder of 2026 activities are planned to focus on progressing the Project into broader construction execution.

Exploration
In Q3 2026, exploration drilling commenced at the Kilosegui prospect, which is located within the Doropo Exploitation Permit. Of the eight pits that make up the mine plan in the DFS Kilosegui has the largest Ore Reserve (21.8 Mt grading 1.22 g/t for 856 koz of contained gold at a reserve gold price assumption of $1,950/oz).
The current Mineral Resource at Kilosegui is 40Mt grading 1.1g/t for 1.4Moz with excellent potential for resource expansion. Kilosegui has a 6km strike length and is open at depth along the entire strike length of the deposit. The initial strategy is to expand the Kilosegui Mineral Resources at depth but within the top 200m.
An initial 20,000m combined RC and step out diamond drilling program is planned to test the down dip extensions of a 1.8km section of Kilosegui West and a 1.5km section of the Kilosegui Central zone.
The drilling program at Kilosegui will continue into 2027 and will expand to include major drilling programs at the Main Cluster Zone.
