Endeavour Mining has sold 200 kilograms (7054.79 oz) of gold from its Mana mine in Burkina Faso to the West African country's government, the company told Reuters on Wednesday.

Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger are all ruled by military officers who seized power in coups since 2020 and have resisted ECOWAS' and other outside pressure to restore democracy.

It wasn’t clear how or in what currency the Burkina Faso government would pay for the gold. A spokesman for the mining ministry declined to give further details on the reason for the purchase.
