Acacia Mining has said it will cut down on operations in its largest gold mine in Bulyanhulu, Tanzania, in a process that will see it reduce workforce by about 400.

The gold producer, which has been locked in tax dispute with the government, said it will stop mining and processing of underground ore in the next four weeks.
