Rosebel Gold Mine

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Rosebel Gold Mine is a world-class open-pit gold operation and one of South America’s largest producing gold assets. Once a loss-making property, the mine became a profitable and strategically significant operation shortly after its acquisition by our group.  Ongoing plant expansion and system upgrades will enable an annual production capacity of approximately 10 tonnes of gold upon reaching nameplate capacity. The project is developed under the principle of “sharing development benefits with host-country stakeholders” and maintains strong commitments to social responsibility, local content, and sustainable growth.

2025 HIGHLIGHTS

As at 2025, exploration work at Rosebel primarily focused on the deep extensions

and margins of the central and northwestern areas of Saramacca. A total of 62 thousand metres of diamond drilling was completed during the year, with results exceeding expectations. The high-grade orebody in central Saramacca demonstrated

better-than-expected continuity along strike and at depth. Drill intercepts showed apparent widths ranging from 1 to 54 metres at Au 1.5–10.0g/t, with gold grades in certain mineralised intervals reaching 30–60g/t. High-grade gold mineralisation continued to extend at depth, and the newly added gold metal content is estimated at 21 tonnes at an average grade of 1.2g/t.

  • During 2025, exploration focused on the deep extensions and margins of the central and northwestern zones of Saramacca.

  • Across mining and processing, production optimisation, system upgrades and technical improvements significantly increased mining, stripping and processing capacity while further reducing production costs.



Sustainable Development

Rosebel Gold Mine places sustainability at the heart of its operations. The project prioritizes local employment, community development, and environmental management. Its multicultural workforce includes employees from 14 different countries, reflecting a policy of extensive localization.

In 2023, Rosebel launched 13 community initiatives focused on education, healthcare, and infrastructure improvement. The company also supports local procurement, small business development, and environmental monitoring, including biodiversity protection and water resource management. Through these actions, the mine contributes to long-term social wellbeing and sustainable economic growth in Suriname.
