I should've added this from the article above also:
"Foreign miners will continue to explore Côte d'Ivoire's untapped gold reserves in the years to come. Randgold Resources has put the country at the forefront of its 'Three In Five' strategy in which the firm aims to explore and secure three projects in the next five years.
Furthermore, in September 2016, Endeavour Mining announced a discovery at the Ity gold mine in the Birimian corridor, which has the potential to extend the mine's life by 10 years. Finally, Discovery and partner Toro Gold announced in December 2016 the discovery of a 17 km-long zone of gold deposits in the Ferkessédougou North permit."
