Investing.com -- The government of Mali and Barrick Gold (NYSE: GOLD ), the world's second largest gold miner by production, are set to commence a new round of negotiations on Tuesday, according to Reuters. This meeting aims to resolve an escalating dispute over the alleged non-payment of taxes by the Canadian mining company and the confiscation of its gold stocks by Mali's authorities.

Barrick Gold has temporarily halted its mining operations in Mali following the government's seizure of nearly 3 metric tons of gold from the company's Loulo-Gounkoto complex.
