The Bissa mine is one of the largest gold mines in the Burkina Faso.[1] The mine is located in the center of the country in Centre-Nord Region.[1] The mine has estimated reserves of 4.9 million oz of gold[1] and is operated by Nordgold.

Between 2011 and 2013, the villages of Imiougou and Bissa were displaced to make way for the mine[2] before its opening in January 2013.[3]
