Mali's Industrial Gold Production Hits 23.5 Tonnes in H1, Surpassing 21.2-Tonne Forecast

The recovery follows a slump in 2025, when production fell to 42.2 tonnes amid tensions over new mining regulations.

The government has since tightened control over the sector, implementing reforms to increase revenues and bring stability.

Top performers: The Fekola mine led with 8.85 tonnes, followed by the Loulo mine with 6.9 tonnes.

What's next: A new mining permit for the Menankoto project was also approved, with Kobada targeting first gold in 2027.
