Mining & Trade Routes
🚨 Current Challenges
-
Fragmented Inland Addressing: Mali's 8 regions lack unified addressing systems. Bamako uses district names, Gao relies on tribal landmarks, while gold mining regions like Kidal and Kayes have virtually no formal addressing, hampering Africa's 3rd largest gold production logistics.
-
Niger River Port Inefficiencies: As the critical inland waterway connecting West Africa, ports along the Niger River in Koulikoro and Mopti face 7-15 day cargo delays due to imprecise addressing, affecting $2.8B annual trade flows and AES (Alliance of Sahel States) commerce integration.
-
Gold Mining Supply Chain Disruptions: With gold exports generating 75% of export revenues, mining sites in Kidal, Kayes, and Sikasso cannot be precisely located for equipment delivery and output collection, causing 30% delays in Africa's 3rd largest gold production network.
-
Mobile Money Service Gaps: Despite 14.5M mobile money accounts (150% growth in 5 years), Orange Money and other providers struggle with location verification, particularly affecting the 85% rural population and limiting financial inclusion in Bamako's fast-growing economy.
-
Lithium Production Logistics: With lithium production starting in 2024, new mining sites lack addressing infrastructure for international buyers and equipment suppliers, threatening Mali's emergence as a critical mineral supplier for global battery production.
✅ WIA Code Solution
-
12-Digit Universal System: Every location in Mali gets a simple 12-digit code. Example: Bamako Central Bank → 223-678-423-567
-
3D/4D Support: Additional data for mining levels and trade timing. Example: Sadiola Gold Mine Level 3 → 223-678-423-567.03.0800
-
Language Independent: No need for reading or writing. Just numbers, so any Malian can use regardless of literacy in French, Bambara, Fulfulde, or other local languages.

🏢 Case Studies
Sadiola Gold Mine - AngloGold Ashanti
WIA Code: 223-678-423-569
One of Africa's largest gold mines will implement WIA Code to optimize equipment delivery, ore transportation, and international buyer coordination. As Mali produces 70+ tons of gold annually, precise mine addressing will reduce logistics costs by 35% and accelerate export processing for global markets.
Mamlaka ya Usafiri wa Mto Niger
WIA Code: 223-678-423-570
Mali's strategic position on the Niger River serves landlocked countries and AES alliance members. WIA Code will revolutionize river port operations in Koulikoro, Mopti, and Gao, enabling precise cargo tracking and reducing the 7-15 day delays that currently affect $2.8B in annual inland trade flows.
Orange Money Mali
WIA Code: 223-678-423-572
With 14.5M mobile money accounts serving 85% rural population, Orange Money will integrate WIA Code for precise customer verification and agent network optimization. This will accelerate financial inclusion goals and support cross-border payments through the TerraPay global network.
