Barrick Gold's COO for Africa announced the company's commitment to resolving a dispute with the Malian government regarding the new mining code that increases the state's share in Barrick's gold operations. The conflict escalated after the government seized gold stock and blocked exports, leading to a temporary suspension of mining operations. Although an agreement to resolve the dispute has been signed, the finalization is taking longer than expected.
