Kibali’s $500m will be cleared to leave Congo ‘very soon’ – Barrick CEO

Barrick Gold’s Kibali gold mining joint venture in Democratic Republic of Congo will be able to get $500-million out of the country very soon, CEO Mark Bristow told Reuters on Monday. The gold miner has been in discussions with Congo’s government over how to get the money out of the country for months. A resolution was close in January, but then the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Bristow said in a telephone interview.
