Resolute Mining says it will pay Mali $160 million in tax dispute
The company’s shares in Sydney were suspended on Thursday, after tumbling 40% since news of the detention of CEO Terry Holohan.
Newcrest said in a brief announcement today that it has suspended operations at the Bonikro gold mine “as a precautionary measure” and evacuated expatriates to neighbouring Ghana.
This is not the first time Bonikro has had to be closed – a mine gained late last year with the takeover of Lihir Gold with its much larger prize of the Lihir Island gold project in Papua New Ginea.
