Burkina Faso gold prices inch back towards pre-COVID levels

Burkina’s artisanal miners do not have direct access to the gold market, they sell their gold on the mine site to local buyers who work for the approved comptoirs located in the cities of Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso.

Currently, there are no alternatives available to artisanal miners to improve the gold supply chain during this COVID -19 crisis.
