The Youga mine, an iconic site of the Burkinabe mining industry, received in 2003 its first industrial mining exploitation permit, for an initial period of 20 years. Entering production in 2008, this mine is located 185 km south of Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso.
In January 2022, mining activities were suspended until Soleil
Resources acquired the site. From this acquisition, revival works began in
July 2024, followed by production trials in September 2024.
Thanks to these efforts, the plant regained its normal production capacity in January
2025, marking an important milestone in the revitalization of the mine.
The Soleil Resources International group concluded on April 15, 2025 a transaction for the acquisition of
