 Resolute CEO still held in Mali, diplomatic sources say, as shares suspended


Resolute Mining, opens new tab CEO Terence Holohan and two other employees of the Australian company were still being detained in Mali on Thursday, two diplomatic sources there told Reuters.


Resolute said on Sunday that Holohan and the two other employees had been temporarily detained by government officials in the military-led West African country.


It has not provided any further update on the situation.


The executives were in Mali's capital Bamako to hold discussions with mining and tax authorities regarding general activities related to the company's business practices.


Resolute's shares fell as much as 8.1% to A$0.395 on Thursday, their lowest level since late March, after Bloomberg reported that the Malian military junta was seeking at least $161 million from the company to settle a dispute mainly concerning alleged back taxes.


Trading in Resolute shares was halted on the Australian Stock Exchange and the company said in a filing it "will provide further updates as and when appropriate".


In its statement on Sunday, Resolute said that the three executives had been discussing "unsubstantiated" claims made against the company during their meeting with the authorities.


Mali's junta adopted a new mining code in August 2023 allowing the country to increase its ownership of gold concessions and recoup what it said is a major shortfall in production revenue.


The move has strained relations with major gold mining conglomerates operating in Mali, which in addition to Resolute include Barrick Gold (ABX.TO), the world's second gold miner, and Canadian rival B2Gold.


Authorities in September briefly detained four Malian staff working for Barrick and have demanded at least $500 million in outstanding taxes and dividends. The two parties are in talks.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the unions
