Burkina Faso is planning to take control of more foreign-owned industrial mines to increase state revenue from its mineral resources. The government will expand the role of Burkina Mining Participation (SOPAMIB), which has already taken control of Boungou and Wahgnion gold mines. This initiative is part of broader reforms aimed at reclaiming sovereignty over the country’s natural resources. Burkina Faso revised its mining code in 2023 to enhance government oversight and prioritize local expertise.
