Fortuna's Diamba Sud Gold Project Gains Key Environmental Approval in Senegal
Summary
Fortuna Mining Corp. has secured a key environmental approval from Senegal's Ministry of Environment for its Diamba Sud Gold Project. This is a decisive step towards obtaining the full mining permit, which was applied for in February 2026. The project's Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) indicated robust economics with an after-tax NPV of US$563 million. This approval significantly de-risks a material future growth asset for Fortuna and moves the project closer to a final construction decision, which is anticipated by mid-2026.
