Barrick Gold Corp. and Mali are set to resume talks on resolving a monthslong dispute over the distribution of revenue from one of the world’s biggest gold mines.

Mali's government and Barrick Gold will start a new round of negotiations on Tuesday to resolve a deepening dispute over the alleged nonpayment of taxes by the Canadian miner and the seizure of its gold stocks by authorities in the country,

The negotiations will focus on Mali's demand for $199m (CFA Fr125.15bn), compliance with the new mining code and the release of the seized gold.

Barrick Gold Corporation has halted its operations in Mali after the government seized gold stocks worth $245 million Cdn from the company's Loulo-Gounkoto complex.

Mali's military government is holding gold seized from Barrick Gold's Loulo-Gounkoto mine site at state-owned Banque Malienne de Solidarite (BMS), two sources said, as the miner pursues plans to suspend its operations in the country.

Mali's government and Barrick Gold will engage in negotiations over tax disputes and gold seizure. The discussions follow allegations of unpaid taxes and government confiscation of gold stocks. The 2023 mining code revision is central to the talks,
