Burkina Faso sees restart of gold mines boosting output in 2025
Burkina Faso is poised to increase its industrial gold mining this year as a project by Mauritius’s Soleil Resources International rises to full production and a new mine by Australia’s West African Resources starts output later this year. Production by the country’s large-scale operations will increase by 4% to 55.7 tons this year, Aristide Belemsobgo, director general of mines and geology at the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Quarries said in an interview.
