Mali’s military government has signed an agreement with Russia.
It includes a gold refinery project in the Malian capital, Bamako.
The deal involves building the refinery to process 200 metric tonnes of gold annually.
It is valid for four years and does not specify the timelines for the construction.
According to the country’s mining ministry, gold is Mali’s leading export product by value and one of its largest contributors to economic growth.
