Mali authorities reopen Barrick Mining office in capital, sources say
Malian tax officials have reopened Barrick Mining's office in the capital under a court-appointed administrator, after it was shuttered in April over alleged non-payment of taxes, two people close to the matter told Reuters on Monday. It marks the first significant development since a Malian court on June 16 placed the Canadian miner's Loulo-Gounkoto gold complex under state control in a major escalation of a protracted dispute over taxes and ownership.
