have been charged and detained pending trial in Mali, the company said on Tuesday, as the military-led government strives to raise more money from mining companies.
Barrick refutes the charges against its employees, the company said in a statement, without detailing the charges. It added it would continue to engage with Mali’s government to find an amicable settlement and secure the release of detainees. Barrick CEO Mark Bristow told Reuters in early November that the world’s No. 2 gold miner was confident of resolving claims and disputes with authorities before the end of the year.
The West African country is demanding about $500-million in unpaid taxes from Barrick, Reuters has reported citing sources, as the government tries to wring more income from the sector to shore up state revenues as prices of the precious metal rally.
