Perenti secures $1.1b contract in Burkina Faso
The news: Mining services company Perenti has signed a $1.1 billion contract through a local joint venture to deliver underground mining services at gold mines in Burkina Faso that are operated by a subsidiary of London and Toronto-listed Endeavour Mining.
The numbers: The $1.1 billion contract will run over 60 months from 1 June 2025, with FY25 capital requirements consistent with existing guidance.

What they said: “This contract is consistent with our guidance for FY25 and will strongly contribute in FY26 and beyond. Our team continually delivers exceptional value for our clients, and this is clearly demonstrated by this long-term contract for expanded operations at the Mana complex,” Perenti managing director and chief executive officer Mark Norwell said.
