Afreximbank Secures US$330 Million Financing for Sierra Leone’s Baomahun Gold Project
African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) has completed financial close on the US$330 million senior debt facility for the Baomahun Gold Project in Sierra Leone, alongside Africa Finance Corporation – advancing development of the country’s large-scale commercial gold mine.
The Bank’s US$75 million financing contributes to a total US$430 million now secured for project execution, with additional capital mobilised through Trafigura Group. This strengthens delivery momentum and positions Baomahun to move toward first gold production.
The transaction reflects strong confidence in Africa-driven resource development and reinforces Afreximbank’s role in enabling value creation through strategic minerals financing.
FSDEA was represented at the ceremony by the Chairman of the Board, Dr. Armando Manuel.
