Roxgold Inc. (TSXV:ROG) reported that its Yaramoko gold project “has not been materially affected” by recent events in Burkina Faso.
According to Reuters, this week a coup led by General Gilbert Diendere saw Interim President Michel Kafando ousted. Diendere is a support of Blaise Compaore, who was booted from his position as president last year during another coup. Kafando has since been released, but Burkina Faso remains in turmoil.
As quoted in the press release:
All construction activities at the Yaramoko site are continuing as planned at present.
The high grade Yaramoko Gold Project is 200 kilometres southwest from the capital city of Ouagadougou. Management in Burkina Faso and Canada will continue to monitor activity in the region to ensure the continued safety and security of all Roxgold employees, in Ouagadougou and on site.
