Resolute Mining CEO Detained in Mali, Shares Plummet
Resolute Mining's shares plummeted by 33% after its CEO was detained in Mali amid the military government's push for a larger share of resource revenues. The detention occurred during discussions about the Syama gold mine, as Mali seeks to renegotiate mining contracts following a 2020 coup. This move is part of a broader trend in West Africa, where countries are asserting more control over mineral production. Resolute is working towards a settlement to ensure the safety of its employees and the future of its operations.
