YARAMOKO MINE
Our Yaramoko Mine is in the Houndé greenstone belt region in the Province of Balé in southwestern Burkina Faso. In 2020, the mine produced 133,940 ounces of gold.
The Yaramoko Mine consists of two underground gold mines: the 55 Zone and Bagassi South. The deposits are greenstone-hosted high-grade orogenic gold deposits. The Bagassi South Zone deposit is located 1.8 kilometers south of 55 Zone and the surface definition of the veins can be traced over a strike length of 800 meters and dips to the northeast. Gold typically occurs as coarse free grains in quartz and is associated with pyrite.
Based on reserves reported as of June 30, 2020 the operation has a mine life of seven years.
We recognize the role that the Yaramoko Mine plays to support sustainable development in our areas of influence around the mine.
