The assets of UK-based gold producer Endeavour Mining and Lilium Mining, which is a subsidiary of Lilium Capital, founded by US-Burkinabe billionaire Simon Tiemtore, are to be transferred to the Burkina Faso government after several agreements were signed with Burkinabe Minister of Economy Aboubakar Nacanabo, Sputnik reported.


The two companies have settled their legal dispute over the sale of two gold mines. Their conflict began when Lilium acquired the mines in June last year. Endeavour claimed that Lilium had missed payments exceeding $100 million, while Lilium accused Endeavour of misrepresenting the financial and operational status of the mines.
