Barrick CEO says he does not know where Mali is keeping miner's confiscated gold
Barrick Mining is spending $15-million a month to keep its Mali mine running and doesn't know where Mali's government is keeping the gold it confiscated from the Canadian company, CEO Mark Bristow said on Wednesday. In an interview about the long-running conflict with authorities in the West African nation, Bristow said the government there had walked back on an agreement to settle a tax dispute three times, and called the jailing of Barrick employees in the country a human rights violation.
