Mali's government continues to assert its claims against foreign mining companies, recently detaining employees of Barrick Gold Corp. amid disputes over back taxes. The country is demanding $500 million from Barrick, while Resolute Mining Ltd. has already paid $130 million of a $160 million settlement related to tax assessments.
Four employees of Barrick Gold Corp. have been arrested by Mali’s military government amid escalating disputes over the company's local mining operations. Charged and detained pending trial, Barrick denies the allegations and aims to engage with the Malian government for a sustainable resolution.

Mali is demanding approximately $160 million from Resolute Mining Ltd. to settle a tax dispute following the detention of CEO Terry Holohan and two colleagues in Bamako. The executives were held after Holohan's meetings with the country's tax and mining authorities, amid increasing pressure from the military government on mining companies to renegotiate economic terms.
Resolute Mining Ltd's CEO has been detained in Mali amid a regulatory overhaul in West Africa, as governments seek to boost revenue from natural resources. The military junta in Mali is intensifying its scrutiny of mining operations, affecting both Resolute and Barrick Gold Corp., which faces similar challenges. Other countries in the region, including Niger and Burkina Faso, are also revising mining codes and conducting audits.
Terry Holohan, the CEO of Resolute Mining Ltd., along with other executives, has been detained by Mali's military-controlled government. The detentions occurred over the weekend, as reported by sources familiar with the situation who requested anonymity.
Barrick Gold Corporation, which explores and sells silver and energy materials, has ownership interests in gold mines across several countries, including Argentina and the United States. Recently, UBS Group downgraded its rating from "strong-buy" to "hold," while other analysts maintain a "Moderate Buy" consensus with a target price of C$30.77. The company reported a quarterly EPS of C$0.44, exceeding expectations, and has seen insider trading activity with both purchases and sales of shares.
Barrick Gold Corp. faces a downgrade from UBS, shifting from "Buy" to "Neutral," with a revised price target of $22.00 due to rising cost risks and weaker-than-expected production. Despite maintaining its 2024 production guidance, concerns over potential cost increases and lower output have led to a cautious outlook. The company continues to demonstrate financial stability, maintaining a strong market capitalization and a long-standing commitment to dividend payments.
Mali's military government has threatened to allow Barrick Gold Corp.'s Loulo mine permit to expire in February 2026 amid a dispute over the division of economic benefits. Finance Minister Alousseni Sanou indicated that Mali may not renew the operating permit and has invited Barrick to discussions on the mine's transition phase later this month.
