Semafo implements new transport measures for expats in Burkina Faso

Following two armed incidents at TSX-listed gold mining company Semafo’s Mana and Boungou mines, in Burkina Faso, which claimed the lives of eight people in the last two weeks, the company is now transporting all expatriate employees to the mine sites by helicopter. In addition, a ground military force has been deployed on the route between the Boungou mine and the capital city, Ouagadougou. These measures, combined with a heightened escort presence, will ensure the safe transportation of national employees to and from the mine to their villages, Semafo said on Monday.
