Mining convoy attacked in Mali on road to Allied Gold's Sadiola mine, sources say
A convoy transporting heavy mining equipment from the Malian capital Bamako to Allied Gold's Sadiola mine came under attack in the Kayes region over the weekend, two people familiar with the incident told Reuters late on Tuesday. The attack points to expanding security risks - and related additional costs - facing mining companies operating in military-led Sahel states that are struggling to contain Islamist militant groups.
