Sadiola is a commune and small town in western Mali, south of Kayes. The commune includes 46 villages[3] and in 2009 had a population of 39,305.

Sadiola has two large open cast gold mines, the Société d'Exploitation des Mines d'Or de Sadiola S.A (SEMOS) als to referred to as the Sadiola_Gold_Mine and the Yatela Gold Mine. Both mines were operated by Anglogold-Ashanti as joint ventures with IAMGOLD and the Republic of Mali.[4] In February 2019, Sadiola Exploration Limited ("SADEX"), a subsidiary jointly held by IAMGOLD and AGA entered into an agreement to sell their interest (80%) in Société d’Exploitation des Mines d’Or de Yatela (SEMOY) to the Mali government. By the end of 2020, IAMGOLD and AGA sold 80% of their interests in the Sadiola mine[5] to the private mid-tier producer Allied Gold Corp and 1% to the Republic of Mali (upping their interest from 18% to 20%).[6]
