This video will delve into the escalating conflict between Mali's military government, led by General Assimi Goita, and Canadian mining giant Barrick Gold. We'll explore the recent dramatic confiscation of over a tonne of gold from Barrick's Loulo-Gounkoto mine, valued at over $117 million, amidst allegations of "irregularities" and unpaid taxes.

Discover the timeline of this high-stakes dispute, which has seen Mali implement a new mining code granting the state higher royalties and greater stakes in projects, and Barrick initiating international arbitration proceedings. We'll analyze the implications of Mali's assertive resource nationalism, the ongoing detention of Barrick employees, and how this standoff impacts the future of foreign investment in a country where gold accounts for over 70% of export earnings. Get the full breakdown of this unprecedented move and what it means for the global mining industry.
