Starcore Int Mines

Starcore International Mines, established in 1986, initially focused on mineral exploration with a commitment to ethical and efficient practices. The company’s pivotal transformation began in 2007 with the acquisition of the San Martín gold and silver mine in Querétaro, Mexico. 

This strategic move shifted Starcore from exploration to small-scale mining and production, with San Martín becoming a key driver of growth and revenue.
Building on this success, Starcore expanded its portfolio, consistently delivering value to stakeholders and earning recognition for its operational efficiency. Guided by a commitment to sustainability, the company continues to evolve as a leader in the mining sector.

A major step in Starcore’s strategic expansion is its entry into Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa, through the Kimoukro Project. Situated in the prolific Birimian Greenstone Belt, this venture highlights Starcore’s goal to diversify geographically and explore one of the world’s most promising mining regions. The project covers 14.48 km² in a permit area linked to the artisanal mining community of Kokumbo, historically known for quartz vein gold mining.

Initial exploration at Kimoukro reveals significant potential for high-grade gold deposits, supported by the region’s established mining infrastructure. This project marks a forward-thinking strategy for Starcore, aiming to diversify its asset base and reduce reliance on its operations in the Americas. By entering the West African market, the company mitigates geographic risks and positions itself within a thriving gold sector that garners global attention.

Kimoukro represents more than exploration—it is central to Starcore’s long-term growth strategy. The project underscores the company’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and expanding its global footprint in an increasingly competitive industry.
