Boungou won’t restart this year, fly-in options on the table following attack

The Boungou mine in Burkina Faso remains closed, following last month’s roadside ambush in which militants killed 37 of the mine’s workers, Canadian miner Semafo said on Monday.

Although the company was evaluating a number of options to restart operations, it said that Boungou would not resume operations this year, as it needed government to increase security of the public road to the mine.
