On February 23, 2026, the mining company Aurum Resources announced a dramatic reassessment of the resources at its Boundiali Gold Project (BGP), located in the north of the country.
With over 94 tonnes of gold now confirmed, the Boundiali (BGP) site in Côte d’Ivoire is emerging as a future giant of the national mining industry.
Operationally, this major gold deposit is entering a crucial transition phase.
Côte d’Ivoire is consolidating its position as a mining hub in West Africa.
According to the latest technical results, the Boundiali project is now estimated at 3.03 million ounces of gold, marking a 26%
increase compared to the August 2025 estimates.
This development is the result of an intensive drilling campaign conducted over the past 28 months.
The pre-feasibility study is expected to be finalized by the end of March 2026, while the definitive feasibility study is scheduled for September 2026.
In parallel, a 100,000-meter exploration program is underway to refine geological data and increase estimated volumes by mid-2026.
This project, which benefits from a favorable logistical environment, is located approximately 100km from Korhogo.
By incorporating the neighboring Napie project, also in northern Côte d’Ivoire, the company’s overall potential in the area now stands at 3.9 million ounces of gold, confirming the exceptional richness of this gold belt.
The technical team in charge of the project, drawing on its experience with the Abujar and Lobo mines, anticipates the possibility of constructing an industrial complex between 2027 and 2028. This dynamic sustainably strengthens Côte d’Ivoire’s position within the West African gold industry.
