55 Zone
The 55 Zone went from its initial discovery in 2011 to production in five years and was completed early and under-budget. Production began in May 2016 and Commercial Production was declared in October 2016.
The 55 Zone has proven and probable ore reserves to a depth of 980 metres. The Company anticipates developing a dedicated drilling platform approximately 650 metres below surface to target extensions to the existing orebody at depth.
Bagassi South
Bagassi South is the second high-grade underground gold mine on the Yaramoko property and consists of two gold deposits: QV1 Zone and QV’ (QV Prime) Zone.
The QV1 Zone is the main deposit of the Bagassi South project and is geologically similar to the 55 Zone.
Located approximately 1.8 kilometres south of the 55 Zone, Bagassi South mine operations benefit from shared infrastructure, management and support services already in place for the 55 Zone.
