Barrick Gold Corporation is prepared to restart operations at its gold mine in Mali once the government allows the resumption of gold exports, according to CEO Mark Bristow. The mine, a key asset for the company, was forced to halt operations due to regulatory challenges affecting gold shipments.
Mali, one of Africa’s top gold producers, has faced disruptions in the mining sector due to political instability and policy changes.
Barrick’s decision to reopen hinges on securing guarantees for seamless gold exports, ensuring profitability and stability for its operations. 
Despite the challenges, Barrick remains committed to its investments in Mali, working closely with authorities to resolve the situation. The company’s move signals renewed confidence in the country’s mining sector, which remains a crucial driver of economic growth.
