# Barrick Mining's important gold mine in Mali resumes production, ending a suspension of over nine months

According to reports obtained by Zhitong Finance APP, after government officials took over the mine in June this year, Barrick Mining (B.US) has finally resumed production at the Loulo-Gounkoto gold mine in Mali, ending more than nine months of suspension, with production restarting for the first time late last week.

The resumption of production stems from an agreement between both parties to restart payments to contractors—payments had been suspended since Barrick closed the comprehensive facilities of the gold mine in January this year.

As one of Barrick Mining's most important assets, the Loulo-Gounkoto gold mine was expected to contribute 723,000 ounces of gold production in 2024, but Barrick was unable to fully profit from this year's historic surge in gold prices due to the government takeover.

The dispute between Barrick and the Malian government dates back to 2023, primarily involving issues related to back taxes and new mining laws. While other companies in the industry, such as Allied Gold and B2Gold, have resolved similar disputes through negotiations with the government, Barrick's issues only made progress recently.

Notably, on Tuesday, Barrick's stock price fell 9.3%, following a decline across the precious metals sector, as gold futures recorded the largest single-day dollar drop in history
