AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoMining & Security in Mali: Resolute Mining says its Syama gold output in Mali fell to about 30,000 oz in Q2 (from earlier 40,000–45,000 oz) due to late-April to May security disruptions that delayed equipment deliveries, disrupted blasting, and temporarily affected explosives supply—pushing full-year expectations toward the lower end of guidance. Sahel Logistics Shock: Nearly 50 people died of thirst after a truck carrying Nigerien nationals broke down in the Sahara near the Mali–Algeria border zone; two men survived after walking to alert authorities, highlighting how fragile transport and supply points are for workers heading to Mali’s artisanal mining areas. Energy Infrastructure: Algeria, Nigeria and Niger have started a new phase of construction on the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline to move 20–30 bcm of Nigerian gas annually through Niger to Algeria, aiming to restart implementation despite long security and financing delays. Trade & Ports (Regional): Ghana reports a $2.2bn trade surplus with Africa and is expanding Tema Port and planning the Boankra Inland Port to speed cargo turnaround for landlocked partners including Mali. Regional Power Push: The World Bank says its West Africa power programme added over 3 million people to electricity access (2019–2025), built 4,000+ km of transmission lines across 15 countries, and is preparing a regional electricity market.
