Loncor Gold (TSX:LN) has released material drill results from the Imbo project’s 3.66-million-ounce Adumbi gold deposit in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The company owns 84.68 per cent of the resource, which yielded a 2021 preliminary economic assessment detailing a post-tax net present value of US$624 million at US$1,600 gold, in addition to:
- Average annual production of 303,000 ounces.
- A 10.3-year life of mine.
- Average total cash costs of US$852 per ounce.
- All-in sustaining costs of US$950 per ounce.

Significant mineralization from borehole LADD028
Leadership insights
“This hole represents another excellent intersection from the ongoing drill program at Adumbi,” John Barker, Loncor Gold’s chief executive officer, said in a statement. “Hole LADD028 was situated in the central part of the Adumbi deposit and intersected the mineralization at a vertical depth of 290 metres below surface and within the US$1,600/oz pit shell. This hole intersected several zones of gold mineralization and showed good geological continuity with adjacent holes in the banded ironstone formation package. Drilling continues below the proposed open-pit shell with the aim of increasing the 3.66-million-ounce resource at Adumbi into a tier-1 project.”
