The Soleil Resources International group concluded on April 15, 2025 a transaction for the acquisition of the mining company Roxgold Sanu SA as well as all assets held by the Canadian group Fortuna Mining Corp. in Burkina Faso, thus creating a national leader in gold production.
The assets include:

  • The operating company Roxgold SANU SA, holder of the permit for the Yaramoko gold mine (Balé province).
  • Two other subsidiaries: Roxgold Exploration SARL and Roxgold Boussoura SARL.
Founded by El Hadj Inoussa KANAZOE, a recognized Burkinabe industrialist, Soleil Resources was established in late 2023 with the ambition to invest in the mining sector. In May 2024, this vision was realized with the acquisition of the mining assets of the Turkish group Avesoro.
