Al-Sawlaj Gold Mining Co. has been shuttered since mid-April and its Russian staff have been evacuated.
A Sudanese gold mining company linked to the Russian mercenary Wagner Group has suspended operations because of conflict in the North African nation.
Clashes erupted in Sudan five months ago when long-running tensions between the army and a paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces, exploded into a full-blown battle for control of the country. The conflict has left thousands of people dead and forced millions more to flee their homes, according to the United Nations.
Gold has been an important revenue source for Sudan’s government, via companies including Australia’s Perseus Mining Ltd. and Dubai-based Alliance for Mining Co. But the vast majority of its production is smuggled out of the country, usually to foreign processing centers, according to Sudan’s Finance Ministry.
