Terry Holohan, the CEO of an Australian gold mining company, has been detained by the military-controlled government of Mali.
Reports indicate that Holohan, along with other executives from the company, was taken into custody over the weekend by the junta in Mali, which has been in power since a coup.
The situation has raised concerns within the mining sector, as the company is a significant player in the region.
The circumstances surrounding the detentions remain unclear, and further developments are anticipated as the company and its stakeholders seek clarity on the situation.
