Diamba Sud

Diamba Sud is a gold mining project located in Senegal, West Africa. The project is owned and operated by Awalé Resources, a Canadian mining company focused on developing gold assets in the region. Diamba Sud sits within the Kédougou-Kéniéba inlier, a highly prospective gold belt that extends across eastern Senegal and western Mali. The deposit comprises multiple mineralised zones with oxide and sulphide ore bodies amenable to open-pit extraction. Awalé Resources has advanced the project through exploration and feasibility studies, with the aim of bringing it into commercial production. The project benefits from its proximity to established mining infrastructure in Senegal, including road networks and power supply routes. Diamba Sud represents part of Senegal's growing gold mining sector, which has attracted significant investment from international mining companies in recent years. The development of the project is expected to contribute to local employment and economic activity in the Kédougou region. Awalé Resources has engaged engineering firms to support project design and optimisation as it moves towards construction and production phases.
