Côte d'Ivoire Prime Minister Robert Beugré Mambé Opens 16th African Union of Broadcasting (AUB) General Assembly in Abidjan
Abidjan hosted the opening of the 16th General Assembly of the African Union of Broadcasting (AUB) ( on June 19, 2025. The ceremony, held under the high patronage of Mr. Robert Beugré Mambé, Prime Minister of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, brought together a plethora of distinguished guests, including ambassadors, directors-general, ministers, academics, media professionals, students, and civil society members from around the world. Under the impactful theme "Developing Media: Strategies for Financial and Technological Resilience, and Innovative Content," this assembly promises crucial discussions for the future of the African media landscape. In his inaugural speech, Prime Minister Mambé highlighted the essential role of media in societal transformation: "Media represents a true opportunity for our country. We are counting on you to preserve and strengthen this asset, through the consultation framework offered to you. It is from this dialogue that the right answers to our questions will emerge." This was a clear call for collaboration and the search for collective solutions. For Cléophas Barore, President of the AUB Executive Council, the funding challenge is omnipresent: "The financing of production and broadcasting remains a daily struggle. These challenges are marked by resource scarcity, fierce competition from new media, information multinationals, and many others." This observation underscores the urgent need for innovation in a constantly evolving media environment. Amadou Coulibaly, Minister of Communication and Government Spokesperson, for his part, urged broadcasters to embrace new media to better capture the African audience. "With the AUB, your Union, I urge you to work tirelessly to sustainably retain the African audience, in its diversity, by notably taking into account new communication and broadcasting channels such as social media, streaming, OTT, and podcasts, by innovating and valuing local content, our historical, cultural, tourist, and socio-economic values.

Perseus Mining Announces 5 Year Gold Production Outlook
Perth, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Perth, Western Australia/ June 11, 2025/ Perseus Mining Limited (ASX/TSX: PRU) (Company) is pleased to provide its gold production and All-In Site Cost (AISC) outlook for the five-year period from FY26 to FY30 inclusive for its portfolio of mines located in Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire and Tanzania. The Five-year Operating Outlook incorporates the updated planning outlook for each of Perseus's three existing operations based on planning assumptions reflecting current operating conditions. It also takes into account Final Investment Decisions (FID) for the CMA underground mining operation at the Yaouré Gold Mine in Côte d'Ivoire (see ASX announcement 'Perseus Mining takes Final Investment Decision on CMA underground project at Yaouré' dated 28 January 2025), as well as the development of the Nyanzaga Gold Project (NGP) in Tanzania (see ASX announcement 'Perseus Mining proceeds with development of the Nyanzaga Gold Project' dated 28 April 2025). HIGHLIGHTS Perseus expects to recover at total of 2.6Moz – 2.7Moz of gold with average gold production from the four operating mines of approximately 515koz – 535koz per annum in the five-year period to the end of FY30. The weighted average AISC over the five-year period is forecast to be US$1,400/oz – US$1,500/oz with not more than ±10% change year-on-year over the period, emphasising the benefit of our portfolio approach to asset management. Total development capital of ~US$878M that has been allocated to the operating assets during the period to achieve this production outlook is excluded from the AISC estimate. At a long-term gold price of US$2,400/oz, Perseus's cash operating margin is expected to consistently exceed US$500/oz at all mines over the five-year period. In some cases, it is significantly higher. The five-year outlook is underpinned by a high level of geological and technical confidence with 93% of the gold ounces in the mine plan comprising existing Ore Reserves with the remaining 7% from Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources. Inferred Mineral Resources and other upside projections of mineralisation were specifically omitted from Perseus's five-year outlook. The five-year outlook reinforces Perseus's commitment to the three core components of its capital allocation policy, namely: maintenance of a resilient balance sheet, delivery of strong, consistent operational performance and careful deployment of discretionary capital for growth and capital returns to shareholders.'In FY22, Perseus's gold production reached approximately 500,000 ounces for the first time and set in train our ambition to maintain or exceed this level of production on a consistent basis going forward. Perseus's decision in 2023 to defer development of its Meyas Sand Gold Project in Sudan and pivot towards acquisition and development of the Nyanzaga Gold Project, will lead to a short term shortfall in 2026 and 2027 relative to this target. From the five-year outlook published today, it is clear that this is a temporary setback and that Perseus's strategy of consistently producing between 500,000 to 600,0000 ounces of gold per year at a cash margin of not less than US$500 per ounce, is eminently achievable. With cash and undrawn debt capacity currently exceeding US$1.1 billion, Perseus is fully funded to not only deliver the five-year outlook as presented today but also consider a prudent mix of future growth opportunities beyond the current plan, as well as generous returns to shareholders'.Perseus's five-year outlook delivers on the Company's strategy of building a sustainable, geopolitically diversified, African-focused gold business of three to four operating mines that produce between 500koz to 600koz of gold per annum at a cash margin of not less than US$500/oz. As part of its annual planning cycle, the Company has reassessed the growth opportunities available within its portfolio with the approach of optimising the portfolio rather than focussing on fixed investment targets for each asset. In this way, the Company has sought to find the balance between investment in growth opportunities and the cash margin generated by the gold production for the group over the five-year period is 515koz – 535koz per annum for a total of 2.6Moz – 2.7Moz with Yaouré contributing 34%, Edikan contributing 28% and Sissingué contributing 10%. Based on the current schedule, the recently committed NGP in Tanzania is anticipated to provide 28% of the metal production for the portfolio over the next 5 years. The Company's weighted average AISC over the five-year outlook is estimated at US$1,400/oz - US$1,500/oz. AISC rises slightly in the first two years, driven by lower production base. In FY28, the integration of lower-margin ore sources into the mine plan contributes to a slight increase in AISC. The portfolio's diverse production base allows AISC to remain within ±10% of the five-year average on a year-to-year Company has strong confidence in its ability to deliver on this five-year outlook, which is underpinned by a mine plan with high geological and technical certainty, with 93% of the production ounces forming part of the existing Ore Reserves with the remaining 7% from Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources (as detailed in ASX announcement 'Perseus Mining updates Mineral Resources and Ore Reservesdated 21 August 2024). Nyanzaga Ore Reserves are detailed in ASX announcement 'Perseus Proceeds with Development of Nyanzaga Gold Project' dated 28 April 2025. The Company will provide an update to the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve statement in August 2025, in line with its annual disclosure. Incremental production included in the mine plan at Yaouré, Edikan and Sissingué comes from well-understood deposits with a proven operating history.

This allows the Company to look to deploy operating cashflow to shareholders and other stakeholders in the business. summarises Perseus's capital allocation five-year outlook is the result of a systematic process to assess and prioritise internal growth opportunities to ensure the portfolio continues to deliver strong operating margins over the long term. The deployment of capital within the business complements existing capital management strategies, including a share buyback programme and the payment of dividends. While Perseus continues to consider inorganic growth opportunities, these are required to compete rigorously for discretionary investment and be assessed in the context of overall business risk and delivery of value. By allocating discretionary capital to internal organic growth, Perseus can invest in jurisdictions where it has an established operating presence, on known geological terranes, and with a proven workforce capable of safely and efficiently delivering five-year forecast for Yaouré includes mining of the recently started Yaouré open pit and CMA underground as the primary ore sources. Supplementing the primary ore sources, material is also sourced from Zain, CMA Southwest and long-term stockpiles to maximise mill will continue to be a cornerstone asset in Perseus's portfolio, total gold production of 870koz – 905koz and a weighted average AISC of $1,480/oz - $1,580/oz over the five-year outlook. While FY26 sees a reduction in gold produced compared to previous years, the change in production volume was anticipated and is a result of a combination of factors including change in ore characteristics and material sources (as detailed in the ASX announcement 'Perseus extends life of the Yaouré Gold Mine to 2035' dated 18 September 2023).KEY PRODUCTION INDICATORS UNITS FY26 FY27 FY28 FY29 FY30 TOTAL 5-YEAR OUTLOOKOre Mined – Open pit Mt 4.3 2.8 3.7 5.7 2.6 19.2 Ore Grade Mined – Open pit g/t 1.06 1.08 0.98 0.99 1.14 1.04 Total Mined – Open pit Mt 26.1 28.6 30.5 27.9 12.2 125.2 Strip Ratio t:t 5.02 9.15 7.17 3.90 3.70 5.53Ore tonnes - Underground Mt 0.2 0.6 0.8 0.8 0.8 3.2 Ore Grade Mined – Underground g/t 3.51 3.36 3.43 3.33 3.80 3.49 Total Tonnes Mined - Underground Mt 0.5 0.9 1.1 0.9 0.8 4.1Ore Milled Mt 3.7 3.8 3.6 3.4 3.4 17.9 Ore Grade Milled g/t 1.66 1.43 1.69 1.89 1.85 1.70 Following FID on the CMA underground operation in January 2025, the project is due to cut the first of four underground portals in Q1 FY26. The expansion to include underground operations allows further exploitation of the CMA deposit, which has proven to be a reliable and well understood geological domain of the Yaouré operation to date. At steady state production, it is planned that underground ore will represent approximately 20% of the tonnes of ore mined on the site from both open cut and underground operations. Since approving FID, Perseus has worked with its mining contractor to further develop the mine schedule ahead of commencement of underground operations in Q1 FY26. This milestone is aligned to the project schedule detailed in ASX announcement 'Perseus Mining takes final investment decision on CMA Underground Project at Yaouré' dated 28 January 2025. As of this update, changes to the underground schedule have resulted in the development capital allocated for the CMA underground increasing by 36% from the approved US$124.6M to US$170M. Development capital for CMA Underground has increased due to bringing forward underground development into the pre-commercial production period and updated capitalisation methodology to include royalties and G&A previously expensed. Further optimisation of the Yaouré life of mine plan is scheduled as several on-lease targets are assessed as part of the regular mine planning is forecast to be the lowest cost operation in the Perseus's portfolio. Gold production totals 725koz – 750koz, with peak metal output in FY28 over the five-year outlook. The weighted average AISC ranges between US$1,230/oz - US$1,330/oz. Nyanzaga's increasing contribution to Perseus's portfolio underscores the decision to acquire and proceed with project development. During the five-year period, all of the Nyanzaga's Kilimani pit is mined providing initial ore supply to the mill with the remainder of the material sourced from the main Nyanzaga deposit. All material mined is part of the stated Ore Reserve (see ASX announcement 'Perseus Mining proceeds with development of the Nyanzaga Gold Project' dated 28 April 2025). Total gold production over Nyanzaga's current 11-year life of mine, Phase 1 mine production is currently estimated to be 2.01 Moz based on a JORC 2012 Probable Ore Reserve of 52.0 Mt @ 1.40 g/t gold for 2.3 Moz.

If approved through to development, Esuajah South would become the company's second underground mine and its first such operation in Ghana. The combination of Fetish, Esuajah North, and Esuajah South underground has extended the life of mine plane out to FY32. Perseus remains committed to brownfields exploration on its existing mining leases and exploration licences at Edikan to support ongoing production growth and to extend the Edikan production pipeline over the longer updated five-year outlook involves the continuation of mining at Sissingué Stage 4 open pit and commencement of new mining areas at Bagoé and Airport West (included in Sissingué in ) in FY26, as well as a Sissingué Stage 5 open pit cutback in FY27.

European Union and Côte d'Ivoire renew their sustainable fisheries partnership
The protocol will grant EU vessels access to Côte d'Ivoire's waters for a period of four years and a right to fish some 6 100 tonnes of tuna and other migratory species per year. In this way, the protocol contributes to EU efforts to increase food security and promote adequate supply of fisheries products to the EU market. At the same time, the protocol will foster development of a sustainable fisheries sector in Côte d'Ivoire. It provides for EU support to: sustainability of fish stocks, by improving scientific knowledge and administrative capacity for management of fisheries resources in Côte d'Ivoire; local fishing communities, creation of jobs and professionalisation of stakeholders in the fisheries sector; an increased attractiveness of the Port of Abidjan. Moreover, with help of the EU sector-specific funding, Côte d'Ivoire will identify and implement projects to further improve the monitoring, control and surveillance of fisheries, and fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU). The total EU contribution under this new protocol will amount to €2 967 million, i.e. €740,000 per year, of which €435,000 earmarked for support to the sustainable fisheries sector in Côte d'Ivoire. In addition to the EU contribution, EU shipowners will pay to the Côte d'Ivoire administration a licence and capture fee of €80 per tonne. This fee will increase to €85 per tonne in the third and fourth year of the protocol's implementation. The protocol should also lead to better labour conditions on board of the fishing vessels. To this aim, the protocol includes a mutual commitment to ensure the respect the working conditions established by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). Finally, the protocol is expected to enhance respect of international obligations, as it explicitly refers to the recommendations and resolutions of the Regional Fisheries Management Organisations and other international agreements and legal instruments applicable to fisheries. Next steps The new protocol will apply provisionally as of 6 June 2025 and will enter into force as soon as the ratification process by both parties has been completed. On the EU side, this implies still the consent of the European Parliament. Background The fisheries partnership agreement was concluded between the EU and Côte d'Ivoire for the initial period starting on 1 July 2007, tacitly renewed every six years. To remain effective, the agreement requires to be accompanied by an implementing protocol setting details related to captures and financial contributions.

Food prices skyrocket as extreme weather wipes out staple crops: 'It's something we've never seen before in this region'
Shoppers in towns across Côte d'Ivoire are struggling to find affordable staple foods such as plantains, cassava, and tomatoes because erratic weather patterns have disrupted local farming, Mongabay reported. In Soubré, a town in the southwestern part of the West African nation, market shelves that once held abundant plantains now sit nearly empty. Prices have skyrocketed, with a small bunch of plantains costing two to three times what it did just a few years ago. Melaine Kouassi, a resident, has noticed the change. "In the past, it was normal to have periods when certain products were hard to come by. But now, we can go almost an entire year without having enough in the markets," she said. This shortage affects other staples, too. Tomato prices have doubled over the past year, for example, straining household budgets. "I go to the farmers' fields to get supplies, but right now there are no plantains — we just can't find any," Fatima Koné, who sells farm produce in Soubré, said. Parfait Koffi Yao, a cocoa farmer, described a recent catastrophe. "During the December harvest season, farmers couldn't produce anything. The Sassandra River overflowed and flooded the plantations. It's something we've never seen before in this region," he said. The unpredictable weather has affected not just food crops but also commodity crops including cocoa, a key export for the country. For farmers in Côte d'Ivoire, failed harvests mean lost income and food insecurity for their families. "The fields don't produce like they used to," farmer Célestin Oura said. "When we have only a small harvest of yams or bananas, we'd rather keep that food to feed our families." Do you worry about how much food you throw away? Definitely Sometimes Not really Never Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. For urban residents, the food shortages translate to higher grocery bills and fewer options. When basic foods become luxury items, many households must adapt their diets, sometimes compromising nutrition. The situation in Côte d'Ivoire offers a preview of what many regions may experience as the climate changes. West Africa faces particular challenges from weather shifts, with agriculture forming the backbone of rural economies. When you depend on predictable rainfall patterns to grow your food, even minor disruptions can harm your ability to feed your family and make a living. You can support climate-resilient agriculture by choosing certified sustainable products from West Africa, including fair trade cocoa. These programs often help farmers implement more environmentally friendly growing practices and earn fair wages. Supporting organizations that work with smallholder farmers is another way you can help. These programs teach techniques such as planting drought-resistant crop varieties, better water management, and sustainable pest control. Reducing your carbon footprint at home by cutting back on driving, eating a more plant-based diet, or switching to renewable energy can help protect food systems worldwide.
