Séguéla gold mine in Côte d’Ivoire produced 76,686 ounces of gold in the first half of 2025, according to figures released by operator Fortuna Mining on Wednesday, July 9. This marks a 13% year-on-year increase compared to the 67,539 ounces recorded during the same period in 2024.

Breaking down the figures, Séguéla reported 38,186 ounces of gold produced in the second quarter of 2025, slightly below the 38,500 ounces delivered in the first quarter. However, this quarterly variation appears to align with Fortuna Mining’s expectations, as the company maintains its annual production guidance of 134,000 to 147,000 ounces for 2025.

Overall, the production growth in the first half supports the company’s ambition for a steady ramp-up at Séguéla. Commissioned in 2023, the mine completed its first full year of operations in 2024, delivering 137,781 ounces of gold by year-end.

While the upper range of the 2025 forecast suggests a possible year-on-year increase, output is expected to climb further in 2026, with a target range of 160,000 to 180,000 ounces. Fortuna Mining owns 90% of the project, with the Ivorian government holding the remaining 10% stake.
