Côte d’Ivoire gold output up 35% in 2019 after new mine starts

Côte d’Ivoire produced a record 32.478 t of gold in 2019, up 35% from 24.06 t in 2018, data from the mine and geology ministry seen by Reuters showed on Tuesday. The rise was partly explained by the start of production in the northern mine of Sissingue operated by Perseus Mining, mining industry officials said.
