Latest Burkina Faso Mining News

West African Resources has reported significant diamond drilling results extending high-grade gold mineralisation well below its current resource at Sanbrado, Burkina Faso, setting the stage for a major resource update in Q2 2026.

West African Resources reports significant diamond drilling results beneath the M5 North open-pit at Sanbrado, revealing high-grade gold mineralisation and potential to extend mine life beyond current reserves.

West African Resources delivered solid Q2 gold production and cash flow, with the Kiaka project completing construction early and under budget. High-grade drilling results at M1 South promise further resource growth.

West African Resources aligns with Burkina Faso's 2024 Mining Code, increasing the government's equity stake in its projects while maintaining its 2025 gold production targets.
