Kurmuk Gold Project

under construction

The Kurmuk gold project in western Ethiopia is Ethiopia's first industrial-scale commercial gold mine. It is designed to process 6.4 million tonnes of ore annually and is expected to produce around 290,000 ounces of gold each year during its early years, averaging more than 240,000 ounces over a projected decade-long mine life. Proven and probable reserves stand at approximately 2.7 million ounces, with ongoing exploration drilling expanding the resource. Around US$620 million has already been invested in bringing the project into production, with first gold expected within weeks. Construction has remained on budget and on schedule.
