Barrick Gold, a leading gold mining company, has successfully resolved a mining dispute with the Malian government. The agreement includes a payment of $438 million to the state, paving the way for the resumption of operations at the Loulo-Gounkoto gold complex, one of Mali’s largest mines.

This development is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy and the mining industry in Mali. Barrick has reaffirmed its commitment to investing in Mali and ensuring the long-term viability of the Loulo mine.
