About 3 metric tons of gold seized from Canadian miner Barrick Gold's Loulo-Gounkoto mining complex in Mali is now being held at state-owned Banque Malienne de Solidarite (BMS), two sources told Reuters.

An ongoing dispute over ownership stakes in Barrick’s operation in Mali has led to the arrest of mining officials, the government’s gold seizure and the company’s shutdown of its mine.

"Barrick Gold suspends operations in Mali after $245m gold seizure" was originally created and published by Mining Technology, a GlobalData owned brand.
