The Fekola Open Pit Mine is situated in southwestern Mali, on the border between Mali and Senegal. The Fekola deposit is located about 210 kilometres
south of Kayes and approximately 40 km south of the city of Kéniéba, located in the Kayes Region. From Bamako, the Malian capital, it is about a 480-km drive along the Millennium Highway to Kéniéba, then 40 km along a newly-completed, two-way traffic road from the Millennium Highway to the mine site. The mine can also be accessed by road from Dakar in Senegal. The mine is also serviced by a purpose-built gravel airstrip.
