Loulo-Gounkoto gold complex expansion, Mali
Name of the Project
Loulo-Gounkoto gold complex expansion.
Location
Western Mali.
Project Owner/s
Société des Mines de Loulo SA (Loulo) owns the Loulo gold mine, and Société des Mines de Gounkoto (Gounkoto) owns the Gounkoto gold mine. Loulo and Gounkoto are owned by Barrick (80%), and the Mali government (20%).
Project Description
The Loulo-Gounkoto complex comprises two distinct mining permits – Loulo and Gounkoto. Together, the permits contain 6.7-million ounces of proven and probable reserves. Measured and indicated gold resources, including reserves, total nine-million ounces and inferred resources two-million ounces.
A prefeasibility study has started on two more mines on the Loulo permit – an underground operation at Loulo 3 and a large openpit at Yalea South. These will add mining sources and improve feed flexibility, providing further support for the complex’s ten-year plan.
