Endeavour Mining, West Africa’s leading gold producer, has officially unveiled its first-ever Côte d’Ivoire country impact report for 2021-2025, titled Creating Tangible Value. The presentation took place in Abidjan on June 29, 2026, highlighting the company’s commitment to sustainable gold production and meaningful wealth redistribution across local communities.

The report reveals that between 2021 and 2025, Endeavour Mining injected a total of 1,710 billion FCFA into the Ivorian economy. This includes direct payments of 644 billion FCFA to the national treasury and 904 billion FCFA spent with local suppliers, reinforcing the company’s role as a major economic driver.

Laeticia Gadegbeku-Ouattara, Vice President of Public Affairs and Country Director for Endeavour Mining in Côte d’Ivoire, emphasized the company’s dedication to ethical gold mining: “We produce more than a quarter of the nation’s gold, and we’re determined to ensure every ounce contributes to sustainable development and biodiversity protection.”

Investing in people and communities

The report highlights Endeavour Mining’s multi-sectoral impact across Côte d’Ivoire, particularly in healthcare, education, infrastructure, and job creation. Over the past five years, the company has:

• Generated over 14,000 jobs across its operations, with 95% of employees being Ivorian nationals, underscoring a strong commitment to local content.
• Trained more than 1,500 individuals through literacy programs, empowering adults with essential skills.
• Provided internships to 840 youth, offering hands-on experience at mining sites nationwide.
• Launched malaria prevention caravans and implemented a Zero Malaria strategy, reducing malaria incidence by over 70% in operational zones.

Infrastructure and environmental stewardship

Endeavour Mining has also invested over 2.8 billion FCFA in community infrastructure, including road upgrades, water access, and electrification in mining regions. Furthermore, the company has prioritized environmental conservation, planting more than 158,000 trees and restoring 199 hectares of land since 2021. These efforts are part of the One Child, One Tree initiative, a collaborative project with local schools.

Future expansion: Tanda mine set to launch

Looking ahead, Endeavour Mining announced the imminent production launch of the Tanda gold mine in eastern Côte d’Ivoire. The new mine is expected to create over 3,000 direct and indirect jobs, further solidifying the company’s position as a key player in the nation’s mining sector. It will join the existing operations at Ity and Lafigué, reinforcing Côte d’Ivoire’s growing reputation as a gold mining hub.

With assets spanning Senegal, Burkina Faso, and Côte d’Ivoire, Endeavour Mining remains a dominant force in West African gold production. Listed on the London and Toronto stock exchanges, the company continues to expand its portfolio through advanced projects and exploration initiatives.

By blending economic growth with community uplift and environmental responsibility, Endeavour Mining is redefining what it means to mine responsibly in Côte d’Ivoire.
