The results of a definitive feasibility study (DFS) on London- and Toronto-listed gold miner Centamin’s Doropo project, in Côte d’Ivoire, has demonstrated that it is a robust project that meets the company’s investment criteria, says CEO Martin Horgan. “The project shows a strong first five years with production in excess of 200 000 oz/y at an all-in sustaining cost below $1 000/oz, delivering an accelerated payback on investment. The DFS has resulted in a plan with significantly lower execution risk, relative to the prefeasibility study, reflecting a reconfiguration of the project to reduce its social impact on local communities,” he adds.
