Biggest gold mine in Ivory Coast, property of La Mancha company. Ity is 15 km away from Zouan-Hounien city, prefecture of Zouan-Hounien department.

Saprolitic zone hosted; skarn hosted

Ity is the oldest gold mine in the Ivory Coast, with work starting in 1950 and regular production since 1991, when the first gold was poured by Société des Mines d’Ity (SMI). At the time, the mine produced more than half of the Ivory Coast’s gold. From 2012, the company was owned by the La Mancha group and the Société d’État pour le développement minier de Côte d’Ivoire (SODEMI: Société pour le Développement Minier de la Côte d’Ivoire). Endeavour acquired the Ity mine in 2015 and subsequently increased its stake to 85% in 2018, following the construction of a new ore processing plant. This stake was supplemented by the Ivorian state (10%) and the state-owned SODEMI (5%).
The mine has produced more than 1.4 million ounces of gold since 1991, 343 koz in 2024, and is expected to deliver between 290 and 330 koz in 2025. Proven and probable reserves are estimated at 11 million metric tons of ore at 0.91 ppm and 67 million metric tons at 1.4 ppm, respectively, totaling around 3000 koz. The ore type is considered particular because the main exploited gold ore is located in the weathered parts of the deposit, which are developed on marble and ortho-amphibolite rocks.
The enclosing rocks of the Ity gold mine show a weak, dispersed mineralisation, which appears either as disseminated or as fissural. Marbles show gold content close to 2 g/t. Disseminated ores are observed in all types of enclosed rocks and are composed of pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, cobaltite, and galena.
Two generations of veins are distinguished: (i) syn-metamorphic veinlets showing the following succession of mineral associations: (a) quartz–chlorite–epidote; (b) microcline, quartz, calcite, pyrite; (c) tourmaline, quartz, chlorite, pyrite; (ii) post-metamorphic veinlets with two mineral associations: calcite–chlorite–hematite and pyrite–chalcopyrite. A series of successive infillings is observed in veinlets: (i) molybdenite, magnetite; (ii) molybdenite, pyrite; (iii) pyrite, chalcopyrite; (iv) pyrite, scheelite. The gangue is primarily composed of quartz, often associated with chlorite, epidote, microcline, anhydrite, tourmaline, or calcite.

Four small mineralised hills (Flotouo, Ziatouo, Ity, and Tontouo) constitute the Ity gold deposit. They exhibit various mineralised facies, best described at the Flotouo pit, where mining has provided a three-dimensional exposure of the deposit. The Zia and Mont Ity deposits are thought to be equivalent to some variations in the Flotouo mineralisation. From west to east, the studied Flotouo-Zia mineralisation forms three ore-heaping series, separated by barren intrusives: the Flotouo West, Flotouo East, and Zia zones. All three ore heaps are bowl-shaped and plunge varying degrees to the northwest. All deposits are located above the late-D2 Le Plaque granodiorite in a skarnified carbonate sequence at or near the contact with the underlying mafic to ultramafic unit.
