One of the largest Soviet Union gold mining interventions was funding the development of the Kalana gold mine in southwestern Mali. It was estimated that the mining operation could potentially have 1.4 million ounces of gold, and the Soviet Union was building a plant to process the gold ore. Construction finished on the factory in 1984, but with the

the French army has also been unable to halt the exploitation of gold at the hand of mafia-like groups. Additionally, since Malian gold mining often involves a variety of international actors, gold smuggling can become a diplomatic issue. In 2021, a high-profile case involving 133 kilograms of Malian gold ingots smuggled and apprehended in South Africa led to heightened tensions between Mali, Madagascar, and the United Arab
Emirates.
