(“Roxgold”) on the license covering its Séguéla open-pit gold project located in Côte d’Ivoire. The royalty was subject to a buy-back of up to 50% and in March 2024, Fortuna elected to execute this buy-back for the full 50%. In May 2021, Roxgold released the results of a feasibility study that outlined a 9-year open-pit mine producing an average of 120,000 ounces of gold per year. In July 2021, Fortuna acquired Roxgold Inc. In September 2021, Fortuna announced a positive construction decision for Séguéla, and first gold was poured in May 2023. Fortuna reported that Séguéla contributed over 78,600 gold ounces in 2023, exceeding the upper range of its 2023 production guidance. Fortuna also indicated that it had upgraded 206,000 ounces of gold related to the Sunbird deposit from Indicated Mineral Resources to Probable Reserves. Feasibility and optimization work is underway to incorporate underground mineable resources at the Sunbird, Ancien, and Koula deposits. The 2024 mine plan considers mining in the Antenna, Ancien, and Koula pits, with plans to process 1.46 million tonnes of ore averaging 3.0 g/t Au, and capital investments estimated at $39.8 million, including $32 million for sustaining capital expenditures and $7.8 million for Brownfields exploration programs. Seguela is projected to produce between 126 koz to 138 koz of gold in 2024. Process plant de-bottlenecking initiatives in 2024 still present upside opportunities for throughput capacity. In 2023, exploration focused on the Sunbird deposit and the Badior prospect. In March 2024, Fortuna announced the discovery of the Kingfisher prospect at the Séguéla mine, covered by Franco-Nevada’s royalty, with further work planned for the remainder of 2024.
