布基纳法索军人领导人易卜拉欣·特劳雷在首都瓦加杜古开设了该国首家黄金冶炼厂Raffinor-BF。1这一举措旨在加强国家对黄金产业的控制，并确保矿产财富在国内得到加工增值。1
该冶炼厂总投资超过11亿西非法郎（约1900万美元）。1初期的年冶炼能力达164吨，最终目标可扩展至515吨。1矿业部长雅库巴·扎布雷·古巴表示，"我们的黄金将不再被用来为他人创造附加值"。1为进一步巩固国家权益，布基纳法索政府要求外国矿业公司必须向国家转让15%的股份。1
这一系列政策调整反映出该国力求减少对外国企业的经济依赖，并提高本地矿产加工的价值捕获能力。1
Burkina Faso's military leader Ibrahim Traoré has opened the nation's first gold refinery, Raffinor-BF, in the capital Ouagadougou as part of efforts to expand state control over the country's mining sector and process mineral wealth within its borders 1. The facility represents an investment exceeding 11 billion West African francs, equivalent to 19 million US dollars, and marks a significant step toward reducing economic dependence on foreign corporations 1.
The refinery will initially process 164 tonnes of gold annually, with plans to eventually reach a capacity of 515 tonnes per year 1. Mining Minister Yakuba Zabre Gouba stated that "our gold will no longer be used to create added value for others," underscoring the government's determination to retain greater economic benefits from its mineral resources 1. As part of this strategy, foreign mining companies are now required to transfer a 15 percent stake to the state 1.
The project comes amid robust growth in Burkina Faso's gold production, which increased 17 percent year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026, according to the World Gold Council 1. In 2024, the government suspended the export of gold from artisanal and semi-mechanized mining operations, further consolidating control over the sector 1.
