Honestly while I don’t believe the situation in Burkina Faso is terrible yet I think you can’t be this dismissive. I spent a bit of time reading about the situation and there has been a marked increase in violence this year. The Government is seeking more international military support (mainly from the French). Semafo (two mines in BF) announced in August that it is transporting expatriate staff by helicopter to airports. The insurgent attacks were previously confined to the areas closer to Mali but there was an incident recently on the eastern side of the country (approx 50 km from Sanbrado, which RR is referring to).

Been through a mining code change in Senegal over past year. Let's just say a certain ASX listed company is still awaiting first Loan drawdown status, even though Presidential decree signed & Loan approved! Hmmmm.....
