The company's latest quarterly results show production of 121,000 ounces of gold at all-in costs of $1,200 per ounce, generating significant operating cash flow of $127 million and maintaining a robust cash balance of $643 million.The company operates three producing mines. Their flagship Yaouré mine in Côte d'Ivoire boasts a minimum 12-year mine life with further extension potential through underground development.

This development is expected to produce 200-250,000 ounces annually in its initial years, effectively replacing production from maturing assets.
