Akobo reports 12kg October gold output, prepares deeper Segele mine plan

Key takeaways

  • 12kg — Akobo reports October doré gold production at Segele, with processed ore averaging 11 grams per tonne.
  • 181kg — Cumulative doré output since start-up; the average processed grade is approximately 22 grams per tonne.
  • 1,100 tonnes — Processing stockpiles include about 800 tonnes of vertical-shaft development material.
  • December — An updated mine development plan is expected; operations could reach approximately 200 metres, subject to final design.

Why it matters

  • October’s lower grade reflected more development material and previously accumulated tailings, the company says.
  • Shaft development continued despite difficult ground conditions.
  • Visible gold at Gingibil remains an exploration observation; assays are needed to establish grade and economic significance.

What to watch

  • The December mine plan and Gingibil laboratory results.
  • Further assessment of the potentially mineralised area west of Segele.
