Barrick gold seeks arbitration to settle disagreement with Mali
Barrick is a sector leading gold and copper production. One of the biggest in the world and comes in at 2nd in gold mining.
“The miner this week threatened to suspend operations in Mali over deteriorating mine conditions. Jefferies analysts wrote in a note this week that closure of the mine would reduce Barrick’s earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization by 11% next year.”
“Mali, under interim President Assimi Goita, has increased pressure on western miners in a bid to raise its revenue share from gold mines.

Silver price (XAG/USD) hits a fresh weekly high to near $33.20 during North American trading hours on Wednesday. The white metal strengthens as the US Dollar (USD) extends its downside on the United States (US) credit rating erosion in the wake of large debt levels and escalated fiscal imbalances.
Technically, a soft US Dollar makes the Silver price a value bet for investors. Additionally, concerns over US credit erosion improve the safe-haven demand of non-yielding assets, such as Silver.
