Burkina Faso court strikes down gold streaming deal amid sovereignty push

A landmark ruling by Burkina Faso’s judiciary has sent shockwaves through the global mining sector, nullifying a high-profile gold streaming agreement between Canadian firms Franco-Nevada and Sandstorm Gold Royalties and a domestic mining asset. The decision, far-reaching in its implications, casts doubt on the legal resilience of financial instruments widely deployed across Africa to fund gold production upfront. Gold streaming operates on a straightforward premise: a financier injects capital into a mining operator in exchange for the right to purchase a fixed share of the mine’s output over its lifetime at a below-market rate. Franco-Nevada and Sandstorm rank among the most influential players in this space, with portfolios spanning multiple African jurisdictions. The Burkina Faso ruli...
