Burkina Faso has recorded the highest gold production in its history, reaching a record 94 tons in 2025 under the leadership of Ibrahim Traoré. This historic milestone marks a major turning point for a country that, just a few years ago, faced political instability, investor withdrawal, and escalating security challenges.

In this report, Akosua Prempeh, broadcasting from United States of Africa TV, examines how sweeping mining reforms, increased state ownership, and a bold push for economic sovereignty are reshaping Burkina Faso’s mining sector. Beyond production numbers, this story explores the rise of resource nationalism, the nationalization of gold mines, and how gold revenues are now funding security, infrastructure, and energy access.

As Western sanctions tighten and external pressure mounts, Burkina Faso’s record gold output sends a clear message: Africa is capable of managing its own resources for the benefit of its people. This video invites Africans at home and across the global diaspora to reflect on sovereignty, development, and the future of African-led economic transformation.
