In this episode, we chat with Edward Gosselin, CEO of Kobo Resources, a Canadian listed growth-focused gold exploration company with a compelling new gold discovery in Cote d’Ivoire, one of West Africa’s most prolific and developing gold districts, hosting several multi-million-ounce gold mines.

Edward has a background in Law and became the CEO of Kobo Resources over a decade ago so in this episode he shares his and the companies journey, the partnerships they have developed, updates on their project, their strategic relationship with Mota-Engil and Côte d'Ivoire as a mining jurisdiction.

Edward will be attending the Resourcing Tomorrow Event (3-5 December, London) which is Europe's largest mining event, designed to foster innovation, drive collaboration, and accelerate growth in the mining industry.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
The partnership with Mota, a leading EPCM company, enhances Kobo's capabilities by providing engineering expertise and resources, allowing for more efficient project development and potential cost savings.
The Kossou gold project is strategically located near key infrastructure, including proximity to a power dam and existing roads, which reduces operational costs and enhances exploration efficiency.
Kobo Resources emphasises a careful approach to capital allocation, focusing on cost-effective exploration methods to maximise the impact of their funding and maintain investor confidence.
The company is committed to supporting local communities through initiatives like the Kobo Soccer Cup and plans to drill water wells, demonstrating a focus on social responsibility as they advance their projects.

BEST MOMENTS

"Cote d'Ivoire was a great opportunity for exploration because there was a disconnect... 35% of the Birimian formation of West Africa is within the boundaries of Cote d'Ivoire."

"Having them on board with us is like having a partner that has all this engineering capability... It gives us a lot of flexibility."

"We took it step by step... But when we were ready to put the drill in, we knew that we should be getting good results down the road."

"Cote d'Ivoire has become a sought-after destination for mining investment amid regional geopolitical uncertainties."
