Judge to hear Mali's request to reopen Barrick mine under new management, official says
A court in Mali will hold a hearing on Thursday to consider a request made by Mali's military government to reopen Canadian miner Barrick's Loulo-Gounkoto gold mine under a provisional administration, a court official said. Granting the request would represent a major escalation of a dispute between the West African country and the Canadian miner after operations at the complex were suspended in January in a dispute over taxes and ownership.
