The greenfield development is located approximately 240 kilometres north-west of Yamoussoukro, the political capital of Côte d’Ivoire, and approximately 480 kilometres north-west of Abidjan, the country’s commercial capital. The project consists of the near surface Antenna, Agouti, Boulder, Ancien and Koula deposits that are ideally located near existing infrastructure including grid power, transport and water resources.
Lycopodium was responsible for the design and supply of equipment, manufactured goods and all other materials and the construction management, pre-operational testing and commissioning services, as well as the overarching project management, for the delivery of the 1.25 Mtpa, carbon-in-leach gold process plant. First gold pour was achieved in May 2023.
