Mali's first gold refinery will be built in a $58 million joint venture between Swiss Bullion Company and Malian firm PAMBC, officials said on Monday.

The plant will be in southern Mali and is due to begin operations by November 2013, the director of Swiss Bullion Company, Dario Littera, said on state radio. It will have a monthly capacity of 20 tonnes of ore, he added.

Swiss Bullion Company and PAMBC signed the deal on Friday at a ceremony attended by the Mali's minister of mines, the government said in a statement.
