Resolute Mining Ltd. will pay the Mali government about $160 million as it seeks to resolve a tax dispute that’s seen its chief executive officer detained.

Resolute has paid an initial settlement of $80 million and will be the balance in existing liquidity sources in coming months, it said in a statement Monday.

The company’s shares in Sydney were suspended on Thursday, after tumbling 40% since news of the detention of CEO Terry Holohan, along with two colleagues, broke around Nov. 10.
