April 29 (Reuters) - Burkina Faso plans to take control of more foreign-owned industrial mines, the country's prime minister said, as the West African country seeks a bigger share of revenue from its national resources.

Prime Minister Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo said Burkina Faso planned to continue with its effort to regain control over its resources in a speech broadcast on national television late on Monday.
