Ghana is experiencing a new gold rush but widespread corruption is causing illegal mining to flourish. A Ghanian investigative reporter uncovers corruption, even among those who are supposed to be stopping it.

Since 2009, the militant Islamist group known as Boko Haram has wreaked havoc in northern Nigeria. Instilling terror through bombings, abductions, and beheadings, Boko Haram is fighting to create an Islamic state in the most populous country in Africa.

VICE News traveled to Nigeria to embed with the country's army as it ramped up its fight against Boko Haram, whose rise has caused a state of emergency. As the only journalists on the front line in northern Nigeria, we witnessed the beginning of the largest military insurgency to date.

Mali Issues Arrest Warrant for Barrick Gold CEO Over Financial Disputes

Mali, one of Africa’s top gold producers, has issued an arrest warrant for Mark Bristow, the CEO of Canadian mining giant Barrick Gold. The warrant was issued December 4,

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:

Mali has over 800 metric tons of proven gold reserves, with significant potential for new discoveries.

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.
