Robex Resources, a West African gold production and development company, is fast-tracking its position in West Africa’s fast-growing gold mining sector, reporting a robust production ramp-up at its Kiniero gold project in Guinea as global gold prices remain near record highs.

The Company said it achieved commercial production at Kiniero earlier in 2026, with first-quarter output signaling a strong start. 

Gold production reached 39,367 ounces in the three months ended March 31, while 38,178 ounces were poured as the mine advances through its ramp-up phase, highlighting Guinea’s rising profile as a key gold investment destination.

Gold sales surge as prices strengthen

Robex capitalized on elevated gold prices during the quarter, selling and provisionally selling 32,306 ounces at an average realized price of $4,804 per ounce. 

The performance underscores the continued strength of the global gold market, driven by investor demand, inflation hedging, and macroeconomic uncertainty, key drivers boosting Africa’s mining sector growth.

Post-quarter activity further reinforced revenue momentum, with an additional 3,288 ounces shipped on April 2, generating estimated proceeds of $15.2 million. The results position Robex among emerging mid-tier gold producers leveraging favorable commodity cycles across West Africa.

Liquidity climbs as production scales

Strong gold sales translated into a significant liquidity boost, with cash and bullion holdings rising to $255 million at the end of the quarter. The improved balance sheet provides Robex with strategic flexibility to accelerate expansion, optimize operations, and invest in exploration across its West African portfolio.

The Kiniero project is central to this growth strategy, marking a key milestone in Robex’s transition from a single-asset operator into a diversified, multi-mine gold producer.

Guinea and Mali anchor expansion strategy

Listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the Australian Securities Exchange, Robex operates the Nampala mine in Mali while scaling up Kiniero in Guinea, two jurisdictions increasingly attracting global mining investment due to untapped reserves and improving infrastructure.

The company employs conventional open-pit mining methods alongside Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) processing and gravity recovery systems, proven technologies that enhance gold recovery rates and operational efficiency.

Sustainable mining and long-term growth focus

Headquartered in Quebec, Robex continues to emphasize sustainable mining practices, local workforce development, and community partnerships, factors increasingly critical for ESG-focused investors targeting Africa’s natural resources sector.

With Kiniero now in production and exploration upside across its asset base, Robex is positioning itself as a rising player in Africa’s gold production landscape. 

The company’s long-term strategy centers on building a multi-jurisdiction, multi-mine platform capable of delivering scalable output, strong cash flow, and sustained value creation in one of the world’s most dynamic gold regions.
