West African Resources, the principal owner of the Kiaka SA mine, published on 18 May 2023 updated information on the Kiaka gold project. The Kiaka mine is located in the province of Zoudwéogo (chief town Manga), in the commune of Gogo. “Kiaka will be a long-life, low-cost gold project that will produce an average of 220,000oz of gold per year for 19 years from 2025,” the release said. The same release, supported by a video, informs that construction work is underway on the project, with West African Resource’s team managing the earthworks, camp, power and mining services, and Lycopodium commencing engineering and procurement services. The main commitments, SAG and ball mills, primary gyratory crusher, apron feeders, high rate thickener, roller cone crushers and CIL agitators, have been locked in; 20% of the overall project costs are now committed and fixed, with no material cost inflation.
West African remains on track to become a 400,000+ ounce per year gold producer with the development of our second gold mine at Kiaka. The company looks forward to providing further video updates from the project as work continues.
