Gold Purchase Financing in Burkina Faso
Gold dominates Burkina Faso's export economy, produced by industrial mines and one of the largest artisanal workforces in the Sahel. It is also our highest-caution market: security conditions affect mine access, ground transport and the reliability of counterparties. We do finance Burkina Faso transactions — but only those that survive an enhanced due-diligence process, and only with logistics planned around current conditions rather than around a seller's promises.

Supply and trading reality
Artisanal gold from sites across the country aggregates with traders in Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso. Quality of information degrades quickly the further a deal sits from the capital, and "mine-gate" offers made to foreigners are a classic lure. We anchor every Burkina transaction in Ouagadougou, with witnessed testing and verified custody before any of our financing is committed.
Security-adjusted logistics
Export is by air from Ouagadougou, with valuation, taxes and documentation completed in-country. Where consignments must move by road before export, we require professional secure logistics and insurance — costs we pre-finance and disclose transparently in the deal terms. A financing partner who doesn't talk to you about security in Burkina Faso isn't operating there.
Financing structure for Burkina Faso
Identical principle, stricter execution: we pay all verified upfront costs — purchase, taxes, secure handling, insurance, freight — and the buyer settles after delivery and final assay. Expect deeper KYC on all parties and longer timelines. We would rather decline a marginal Burkina deal than finance a loss.
