and I will tell you all about it , why he was arrested and why Mali is behaving this way towards foreign mining companies. in this video you will have perfect understanding with key facts to debate this topic everywhere you find yourself.

Gold Production in Mali: Overview

.to get the clear view and understanding of the situation, some facts need to be established.

Mali is one of Africa’s largest gold producers and plays a significant role in the global gold mining industry.

Gold accounts for a substantial portion of the country's economy, making it a vital resource for government revenue, exports, and employment.

Let's establish 5 Key Facts About Mali’s Gold Production

1. Ranking:

Mali is the third-largest gold producer in Africa, after South Africa and Ghana.

It is one of the top 15 gold producers globally.

2. Annual Production:

Mali produces approximately 60-70 metric tons of gold per year, sometimes production can vary depending on mining activities and investments.


3. Contribution to GDP:

Gold contributes around 10% to 15% of Mali’s GDP.

It accounts for over 75% of Mali's export earnings.

4. Major Gold Mines:

Mali has several large-scale gold mines operated by international mining companies including :

Loulo-Gounkoto Complex (operated by Barrick Gold who's CEO is under arrest warrant

Fekola Mine (operated by B2Gold)

Sadiola Mine (operated by IAMGOLD and AngloGold Ashanti)

Morila Mine (operated by Firefinch Limited)




5. Reserves:

looking at Economic Importance of Gold in mali
in regards to Government Revenue: Taxes and royalties from gold mining are a critical source of income for the government of mali.

The Malian government accuses Bristow who is the CEO of barrick gold Mining companie , the government accused him of money laundering and violating financial regulations,

Now mind you similar things occurred last month.
when Mali Military leader Detains CEO and Staff of Resolute Mining
which is Australian gold miner .

they were detained by the Malian government with similar claims of these mining companie refusing to comply with the new mining code introduced by the Malian government since the military took over power.

and now this CEO is Also under arrest warrant.

Since the government of Niger took over power there is so much Escalation between the Government and these Mining Companies

reason been that
Mali’s military-led government is pushing for more revenue from the mining sector to support the country’s economy, especially with gold prices on the rise.

The Syliphone Years
Au lendemain de la décolonisation de la Guinée, le nouveau président Sékou Touré s'affirme comme le promoteur d'une réhabilitation de l'authenticité africaine face au déni colonial des cultures colonisées. Dans une perspective d'unité nationale et panafricaine, les artistes obtiennent le statut de fonctionnaire d'état et sont encouragés par le gouvernement à composer et écrire de nouvelles chansons dans un style plus moderne, tout en puisant dans le répertoire des récits historiques et des musiques ancestrales de l'aire Mandingue. Le fer de lance de cette politique n'était autre qu'un label d'état, le label Syliphone, dont les enregistrements sont de formidables témoignages du dynamisme et des richesses culturelles d'un peuple à l'aube de son indépendance qui porte au monde la voix de sa révolution.

► Sory Kandia Kouyaté
Le chanteur guinéen est sans aucun doute celui qui aura permis à la musique mandingue de toucher les coeurs, au-delà des cultures. Fils, petit-fils et arrière-petit-fils de djéli, Sory Kandia a appris les arts du verbe et du ngoni, luth traditionnel. Il a aussi appris tous les contes et légendes, tous les mythes fondateurs des royaumes du Mandé, de Soundiata Keïta l’empereur infirme, à Sadio, la fille à l’hippopotame.
Son prestige, cependant, il l’a tiré de l’outil dont il se sert le mieux : sa voix. Claire, forte, parfaitement maîtrisée. Et aussi de sa capacité à moderniser les chants anciens.
Conteur privilégié du parti de l’indépendance, il se voit confier directement par le président Sékou Touré la direction de l’Ensemble instrumental et choral de la ’’Voix de la Révolution’’ créé le 4 janvier 1961. La mission de l’Ensemble est claire : composer, adapter, orchestrer et interpréter les airs populaires, pour que demeure en mémoire l’histoire de la patrie. L’expérience apparait comme un véritable laboratoire de la musique traditionnelle africaine et Sory Kandia devient la ’’Voix de l’Afrique’’ avant Miriam Makéba !
Sur cet opus de 2 CD, nous présentons deux facettes de sa musique, la contemporaine et la traditionnelle pour expliquer pourquoi aujourd’hui, près de quarante ans après sa mort, il reste un artiste aimé et respecté.
