Exploration Success Adds Upside to Montage Gold’s Kone Project | Martino DiCiccio

Martino Di Ciccio, CEO of Montage Gold, discusses the development of the $860 million Kone Gold Project in Cote d'Ivoire, projecting production to begin later this year, ahead of schedule. The project anticipates yielding over 300,000 ounces annually for the first eight years, potentially exceeding expectations due to newly discovered higher-grade deposits. Exploration efforts have identified over 50 targets, adding seven new deposits to the resource stage, which could significantly enhance the production profile by integrating higher-grade deposits into the mine plant. Di Ciccio also highlights Montage Gold's strategy of investing in junior explorers like African Gold, leveraging their technical expertise to expand their presence in West Africa and potentially create a multi-asset mining company.
