Fortuna Silver Mines received an environmental decree from Senegal's Ministry of Environment and Ecological Transition. The approval confirms the Diamba Sud Gold Project complies with all environmental and social regulations.
The company submitted its formal mining permit application on February 4, 2026. This environmental milestone significantly de-risks the project and clears the path for a full mining permit.
Fortuna will now proceed with early construction works at the site. A final construction decision for the project is expected in mid-2026.
Market reaction was positive following the announcement. Fortuna shares rose approximately 6% in early trading on June 15, 2026.
