- Fortuna Mining Corp. is a Canadian precious metals mining company engaged in the production and exploration of gold, silver, lead, and zinc. The company operates multiple mines across Latin America and West Africa, specifically in Argentina, Côte d'Ivoire, Peru, Mexico, and Senegal. Its core assets include the Lindero gold mine in Argentina; the Séguéla gold mine in Côte d'Ivoire; the Caylloma silver, lead, and zinc mine in Peru; and the recently divested San Jose silver-gold mine in Mexico. Fortuna formerly operated the Yaramoko gold mine in Burkina Faso but divested this asset in 2025 to optimize its portfolio. The company's operations produce various metal concentrates and refined products, servicing both precious and base metals markets.
Recent major developments include Fortuna's strategic exit from Burkina Faso with the sale of its Yaramoko mine to Mauritius-based Soleil Resources International for approximately $130 million to enhance liquidity and focus on growth markets. The company continues advancing the Diamba Sud gold project in Senegal, filing an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment in October 2025 and targeting a construction decision in the first half of 2026 following a strong Preliminary Economic Assessment with a high internal rate of return. Additionally, Fortuna formed a strategic exploration alliance with DeSoto Resources Limited to explore the Siguiri Basin in Guinea and launched a $19 million generative exploration program, complementing a $22 million brownfields exploration budget targeting prospective projects in Côte d'Ivoire, Mexico, and Argentina. The company is also advancing operational expansions, such as plant capacity increases and resource drilling at its Séguéla mine and other sites.
Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Fortuna Mining Corp. operates through distinct business segments managing its diverse mine portfolio across several geographies. Its portfolio prioritizes sustainable production growth through exploration, mine development, and operational excellence. The company maintains regional offices in Lima, Peru, and Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, supporting its extensive operations across the Americas and West Africa. Fortuna serves global markets with its precious and base metals products and targets high-value exploration and development projects to drive long-term growth.
