Our strong exploration pipeline underpins our long-term growth.

Endeavour’s world-class approach to exploration has been fundamental to its consistent success in maintaining a high-quality portfolio and building a strong organic growth pipeline.

Our strong track record, high calibre team and prospective land package positions us well to meet our five-year discovery target of 12–15 million ounces of Mineral resources over the 2026 to 2030 period, at the low discovery cost of less than $40 per ounce.

Côte d'Ivoire
Ity mine
The Ity mine is one of Endeavour’s cornerstone assets, where the goal is to sustain production above 250koz/year over a +10-year life of mine at an industry-leading AISC.

Côte d'Ivoire
Lafigué mine
The Lafigué mine poured first gold at the end of Q2 2024 and is Endeavour’s newest cornerstone mine. The goal at Lafigué is to produce over 200koz per year at an industry leading all-in sustaining cost of approximately $900/oz for at least 13 years.

Tier One Gold Mineral System Framework

The Gold Mineral System Framework is a proprietary framework that Endeavour applies to provide a consistent approach to targeting Tier 1 gold deposits.

Endeavour employs a proprietary Gold Mineral System Framework to systematically analyse the key genetic elements of a Tier 1 gold deposit across various scales, from district-level mapping down to individual targets.

This consistent and disciplined approach is applied to both greenfield and brownfield exploration to support the prioritisation of targets and guide capital allocation and investment decisions.

Furthermore, the framework is a critical foundation for training Endeavour's AI targeting tools, ensuring all exploration efforts are underpinned by robust, proprietary geological intelligence.
