Mako, Senegal

Overview

Mako, Senegal

The Mako Gold Mine, located in eastern Senegal, is a high quality, open pit mine with attractive scale and potential life extension through several near-mine satellite deposits.

Mako is owned and operated by Resolute’s Senegalese subsidiary, Petowal Mining Company S.A. Resolute has a 90% interest in Petowal and the Government of Senegal holds the remaining 10%.

Mako is a conventional drill and blast, truck and shovel operation with mining services undertaken by an established contractor. The carbon in leach processing plant has a greater-than 2.0 Mtpa of installed capacity and comprises a crushing circuit, an 8MW SAG Mill and gold extraction circuit.

Mako continues to deliver consistently strong results and cash flows. Open pit mining is due to end in mid-2025 with stockpile processing due to commence from July 2025 onwards. Resolute is working towards extending the mine life at Mako through the development of satellite deposits, including Tomboronkoto and Bantaco, which are within trucking distance of the mill.
