The President of the Transition, His Excellency Army General Assimi GOÏTA, marked a key milestone in Mali’s economic development with the inauguration of the Goulamina lithium mine, located in the Bougouni region. This event provided the Head of State with an opportunity to meet with local customary and administrative authorities to discuss the impact of this ambitious project on the national economy and regional development.
In his speech, General Assimi GOÏTA emphasized the strategic importance of the Goulamina lithium mine for Mali. This project, which positions the country on the map of global lithium producers, opens up promising economic prospects, particularly in terms of local employment and infrastructure development. “Owning lithium and having a mine dedicated to its exploitation is a real opportunity. This factory is the heritage of all Malians and will benefit our people”, he proudly declared.
The Goulamina mine is part of a broader vision to capitalize on natural resources to strengthen Mali’s economic autonomy. Beyond the national impact, it represents a major opportunity for the people of the Bougouni region, who will directly benefit from the economic and social spin-offs of the project.
This inauguration marks a decisive step in the structural transformation of the Malian economy, with the ambition of making the country a key player in the market for strategic raw materials. Local authorities and the people of Bougouni see this project as a promise of prosperity and progress for future generations.
