AAMEG SEMINAR: OPERATING IN BURKINA FASO

Dear Members and Friends, We invite you to an exclusive Seminar & Networking event exploring the opportunities and realities of operating in Burkina Faso — an established West African mining jurisdiction and one of Africa’s leading gold-producing countries, with significant potential across gold, manganese, zinc, limestone and other strategic minerals. As global demand for minerals continues to grow, Burkina Faso remains an important destination for mining investment and exploration. Its well-established gold mining industry, considerable mineral potential and opportunities for exploration, project development and mining services continue to attract interest from international mining companies, investors and resource sector service providers. However, operating in Burkina Faso presents a unique set of opportunities and challenges. Businesses need to understand the country's evolving political and security environment, mining legislation, regulatory framework, licensing and permitting processes, fiscal and taxation arrangements, local content requirements, community engagement expectations, ESG obligations and the practical realities of operating in a landlocked West African country. Navigating the local operating environment requires more than an understanding of the mining sector. Establishing trusted local relationships, understanding government priorities, managing security considerations, developing effective partnerships and maintaining sustainable operations are all critical to long-term success. Whether you are already active in Burkina Faso or considering entering the market, gaining practical insights into the country's operating environment is essential to identifying opportunities, managing risks and making informed investment and business decisions. Who should attend? ✅ Companies currently operating in Burkina Faso seeking market updates, regulatory insights and perspectives from industry peers. ✅ Investors and stakeholders exploring opportunities in Burkina Faso's established gold sector and broader mineral resources industry. ✅ Mining companies, contractors and service providers considering expansion into West Africa. ✅ Organisations seeking to establish local partnerships, develop business relationships or enter the Burkina Faso market. ✅ Businesses interested in understanding the operational, regulatory, political and security considerations of working in the region. Join us to gain practical, on-the-ground insights from industry experts and experienced operators, better understand the opportunities and challenges of doing business in Burkina Faso, and connect with professionals interested in the country's mining and resources sector.
