Mali's gold output fell 22.9% in 2025 due to a lengthy suspension of Barrick Mining's operations and tougher mining rules. The standoff weighed on sector sentiment and disrupted output across the industry, offsetting gains from new entrants and expanded small-scale industrial mines. B2Gold became Mali's largest gold producer, delivering 17.5 tons, while Barrick produced 5.5 tons. Artisanal gold output remained unchanged at six tons.
