BAMAKO (Reuters) - Gold miner B2Gold said on Tuesday a nationwide strike by Mali’s main workers union had reduced staffing at its Fekola mine but not had a major effect on operations.
The National Union of Malian Workers (UNTM), which says it represents 80% of unionised workers, launched a five-day strike on Monday as part of a long-running standoff with the government over wages.
B2Gold said mining and milling operations were continuing with lower staffing at Fekola, which it expects to produce 530,000 and 560,000 ounces of gold this year.
“There has been no major effect on mine operations from the strike,” said spokeswoman Katie Bromley.

UNTM official Ousmane Traore told AFP that workers in banks, the treasury and the departments of customs and taxes were mostly following the strike.
