Mali suspends artisanal gold mining

ByVictoria

Mali said on Wednesday it was suspending licenses for foreign artisanal gold mining companies after a series of fatal accidents in the West African country, one of Africa’s top three gold producers.

Gen. Assimi Goita, president of Mali’s transitional government, ordered “the suspension of artisanal mining permits granted to foreigners,” according to a statement issued following a Council of Ministers meeting.

“These measures are designed to further strengthen the state authorities and protect our fellow citizens. These measures give us the power to seize materials (mining equipment), which will be confiscated and placed in the domain of national heritage,” Gen. Daoud Ali Mohammedine, the minister of security and civil protection, said on ORTM.

The Price Of Gold From 2021-22 Has Long Rejected ‘Bidenflation’

Considering the price of gold throughout 2021, it averaged out to roughly $1,798/ounce, meaning the value of the dollar actually rose around 3 percent right at the time that the economy-sapping tax that is government spending continued under Biden, and allegedly caused “inflation.” To be clear, government spending is the worst tax of all exactly because it substitutes central planning of resources by the government for that of the private sector. Still, it logically doesn’t cause higher prices, or “inflation,” and it didn’t if gold is to be believed.

Gold prices rallied above $3,100 per ounce for the first time on Monday, on course for its biggest quarterly gain in over 38 years, as global tariffs and geopolitical tensions push investors toward safe-haven bets.

“Trump’s unpredictable trade policy has been the key driver for gold so far in 2025, with prices up by more than 16% year-to-date, extending its momentum from 2024,” ING analysts said.

“We see uncertainty over trade and tariffs, along with central bank buying and inflows into ETF holdings continuing to buoy gold prices.”

SA analyst World Gold Council stated: “While gold may face some consolidation due to the speed of its latest move, the combination of geopolitical and geoeconomic uncertainty, rising inflation, lower rates, and a weaker US dollar continue to provide powerful tailwinds to investment demand,”

“I recommend buying assets that track the price of gold… Inflation had been on an upward trend, but the lower-than-expected reading in February added more uncertainty to investors. Additionally, recession fears could lead the Fed to cut interest rates. All these uncertainties drive up gold prices,”
