New Resource Estimate Fuels Growth Potential

Resolute Mining (ASX:RSG) has reported its initial Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Bantaco South and West Prospects, located near the company’s Mako Gold Mine in Senegal. These new figures indicate promising gold-bearing potential across both sites.

Bantaco West Prospect: Estimated at 5.8 million tonnes with a grade approaching one gram of gold per tonne.
Bantaco South Prospect: Totals 2.2 million tonnes with slightly higher gold concentration.

Together, these new prospects contribute approximately 266 thousand ounces of gold to Resolute’s existing project base.

In total, the Tomboronkoto and Bantaco projects now account for more than six hundred thousand ounces of contained gold. These developments underscore a growing resource base that could enhance operational longevity for the Mako Gold Mine.

Drilling Set to Continue in Second Half of 2025

With drilling activities planned for later this year, Resolute is targeting further growth in its resource base. The company has indicated that Bantaco Main offers additional upside potential. Moreover, the clear development timeline and established stakeholder relationships in the region position the project well for continued progress.

Plans are underway to begin mining operations at Bantaco by the second half of 2027. If the timeline holds, this would represent a strategic win for the company as it advances toward a long-term production horizon.

Looking Ahead: Multi-Asset Strategy in Motion

Resolute Mining (ASX:RSG) is actively working to expand its footprint and become a diversified, multi-asset gold producer. With more than six hundred thousand ounces now identified across Tomboronkoto and Bantaco, the company’s commitment to sustained gold production in Senegal remains firm.

The Bantaco Project is viewed as central to the future of the Mako operation, offering both scale and proximity to existing infrastructure. As further exploration data is gathered, there is potential for upward revisions to the MREs, which would further bolster project economics.

The latest resource update reinforces Resolute Mining’s strategic roadmap and strengthens its operational outlook. While the share price may see short-term volatility, long-term fundamentals remain grounded in expanding reserves and a clear path to development. As an ASX 300 constituent, Resolute continues to capture investor attention amid broader stability in the S&P 200.
