GlobalData's "West Africa Gold Mining to 2035" provides a comprehensive coverage on the West Africa gold industry. It provides historical and forecast data on gold production by country, production by company, reserves by country and world gold prices. The report also includes a demand drivers section providing information on factors that are affecting the global gold industry. It further profiles major gold producers, information on the major active, planned and exploration projects by country.
West Africa remains one of Africa's most important gold-producing regions, supported by large-scale operations across Ghana, Mali, Burkina Faso, Republic Guinea, Ivory Coast and Senegal, among others. The region's production trend has been shaped by a combination of mature mine performance, ongoing ramp-ups, brownfield expansions and government-led efforts to formalize and strengthen the mining sector.
Ghana continues to anchor regional production, supported by its established mining base and policy initiatives aimed at improving sector governance. Meanwhile, countries such as Ivory Coast, Republic of Guinea and Burkina Faso are contributing to regional growth through project ramp-ups and new mine developments. However, production in parts of the region remains exposed to operational disruptions, security risks, permitting delays and declining grades at some mature assets.
