🇲🇱The Most Timely Coincidence On Friday 70 fuel trucks were reported to be prevented from setting off to Allied Gold's Sadiola mining site in Western Mali due to a threat of the convoys being ambushed by Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM). A more nuanced consideration of this event led me to 2 unevident discoveries: 👉 Just 2 days earlier (1 October) Allied Gold announced it was going to overhaul its energy system, bringing in more efficient diesel generators and moving towards deploying a solar power plant 👉All the time hitherto that HUGE mining complex near Sadiola has been relying SOLELY on diesel power generation (especially given its remote location) Not sure it was exactly Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin that pushedAllied Gold's green transition, but actually it's a shame they still have to send fuel trucks to generate electricity on the site. Allied Gold has been running the gold mine for almost 6 years, with the mine being in exploitation for almost 30 years in total Devils Below
