Mali court adjourns hearing on whether to put Barrick's gold mines under provisional administration
A Malian court has adjourned to Thursday a hearing on whether to put Barrick Mining's Loulo-Gounkoto gold complex under provisional administration, the court's registry office and one of the lawyers involved told Reuters on Monday. 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.
