Allied Gold Corporation Provides Operational Updates and Strategic Progress Across Its Portfolio
Allied Gold Corporation stated that, as previously announced by Allied Gold on May 29 and Zijin Gold International Company Limited on May 31, both parties remain fully committed to fulfilling the conditions for completion of the Arrangement by the extended outside date of July 29, 2026. Allied Gold provided updates on mine-life extension, mineral-inventory growth, and optimization initiatives across its Côte d’Ivoire operations, referred to as the CDI Complex. Allied Gold said the CDI Complex continues to demonstrate strong operating momentum and long-term growth potential. Following the previously disclosed increase in Mineral Reserves to approximately 1.55 million ounces of gold as of year-end 2025, the company completed updated mine planning and optimization work supporting a substantially enhanced production outlook. The company said it has advanced its objective of increasing mine life across the CDI Complex to at least 10 years of production. The strategic target production for the CDI Complex is now approximately 200,000 gold ounces per year for 10 years or more. The updated integrated production plan for Bonikro incorporates production from Hiré, Oumé, and Bonikro and demonstrates a mine-life extension to 2036 based on 2025 Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves. The plan supports average production of approximately 120,000 gold ounces per year at Bonikro. Allied Gold said this represents a production increase of approximately 400% compared with the life-of-mine production profile outlined in the 2023 Technical Report. The company is completing studies to increase the Bonikro plant’s processing capacity to 3.0–3.2 million tonnes of ore per annum. Allied Gold also said the capacity increase would build on ongoing processing-plant throughput upgrades of approximately 0.5 million tonnes of ore per annum, intended to bring forward processing of low-grade stockpiles at a rate of 15,000 to 20,000 gold ounces per annum beginning in late 2026 to early 2027. The Bonikro production plan shows annual mine production of approximately 110,000 ounces of gold from 2026E through 2036E, plus targeted incremental stockpile-processing production of approximately 20,000 ounces of gold per year over the same period. Allied Gold said Bonikro porphyry-style Au-Mo mineralization remains open to the west and below the current Mineral Reserves. The company reported intercepts including 151.1 m at 0.713 g/t Au, including 18.0 m at 3.24 g/t Au in hole BODD053, and 201.0 m at 0.91 g/t Au in hole BRDD230, with assays capped at 30 g/t Au and true width unknown. Allied Gold said this mineralization style has also been noted at the Oumé deposit, approximately 20 km north, suggesting potential for additional discovery. Allied Gold said an updated production plan integrating Oumé and other mining zones around Bonikro has been completed, confirming Oumé’s role as a meaningful contributor to the operation. At Oumé, multiple high-grade drill results were reported, including 2.39 m at 50.71 g/t Au in hole DNDD127, with an estimated true width of 1.4 m. The company said mineralization at Oumé remains open both to depth and along strike. Oumé is expected to benefit from increased processing capacity at Bonikro, supporting its potential as a meaningful contributor to Allied Gold’s value creation. Allied Gold said Agbaou Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves updates are in progress and are expected to increase materially from year-end 2025 levels. Ongoing near-mine exploration continues to demonstrate significant potential for additional increases in mineral inventories and mine life at Agbaou. New drill results at Agbaou included 3.96 m at 33.43 g/t Au in hole ABD0288, with an estimated true width of 3.2 m. Allied Gold said these results support pit deepening and provide a rationale for testing underground Mineral Resources at Agbaou and elsewhere within the CDI Complex. Recent drill intercepts at Hiré’s Akissi So deposit included 21.57 m at 4.76 g/t Au in hole AKDD032 and 1.98 m at 33.64 g/t Au in AKRCD065. Mine design and planning activities are underway to support a target mine-life extension beyond 2030 while preserving flexibility to incorporate future discoveries such as Ditula. Ditula remains a high-priority near-mine target, with recent drilling continuing to identify economic-grade mineralization and supporting potential development of oxide and fresh-rock Mineral Resources. Historical results at Ditula included 30 m at 3.09 g/t Au in oxide in hole HRC6242, with true width unknown, and these results are being tested in the current program. Allied Gold said the Kurmuk Gold Project remains on schedule and on budget. Overall project completion now supports pre-commissioning activities, which are underway. First gold production remains expected in mid-2026. The project is meeting key execution milestones and is advancing through its pre-commissioning phase, which the company said significantly strengthens visibility on outcomes and value creation. Construction activities have focused on mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, and control systems. Mining activities are continuing to support the build-up of at least three months of ore stockpiles ahead of start-up. The Ethiopian Electric Power Company continues to advance power-line construction, which is expected to be operational ahead of commissioning. Following start-up, Kurmuk is expected to produce an average of approximately 290,000 ounces per year during its first four years and 240,000 ounces per year over the life of mine. Exploration efforts at Kurmuk continue to demonstrate extensions to known deposits and the discovery of new mineralized areas, which are expected to further increase the intrinsic value of the asset. Allied Gold said operations at Sadiola, including the supply chain, continue to progress normally and without interruption. The mine remains on track to meet production guidance, with second-quarter gold production expected to be approximately 50,000 ounces. Processing optimization initiatives continue to advance at Sadiola. The Stage 1 grinding circuit is performing in line with design expectations, while the new crushing plant is expected to further improve operating efficiency and reduce costs. Additional optimization initiatives include automation upgrades, recovery-enhancement programs, and installation of a pre-leach thickener.
