Mali is establishing a mining task force with judicial powers to oversee gold mining and quarrying sites in the West African nation.

The Brigade spéciale des mines will step up inspections and enforcement to curb illegal mining and reduce its environmental and social impact, according to minutes from a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

Despite a reinforced legal framework and ongoing enforcement since 2020, Mali’s mining sector continues to face major challenges, including illegal mining, clandestine gold panning, illicit mineral trafficking, the use of banned chemicals leading to environmental damage and security risks.
