History
2008
In 2008, Barrick met original gold production guidance and generated record operating cash flow of $2.2 billion. Early in the year, the Company acquired the remaining 40% interest in the highly prospective Cortez property in Nevada. Three advanced projects, Buzwagi, Cortez Hills, and Pueblo Viejo, are in construction and are expected to contribute lower cost production over the next three years.
2007
In 2007, Barrick met original production and cost guidance, and expanded its project pipeline with the addition of a 51% interest in the large gold-copper deposit, Cerro Casale, from the acquisition of Arizona Star.
The Company also expanded its footprint in the highly prospective region of Papua New Guinea with the purchase of an additional 20% stake in the Porgera mine (bringing total ownership to 95%) and an exploration land package of more than 5,300 square kilometers.
2006
In 2006, Barrick acquired Placer Dome Inc., adding twelve new mines and a number of advanced exploration and development projects to its global portfolio. The combined Company has the size, scale and financial strength to capitalize on industry opportunities and deliver value from its assets, people and projects.
2005
In 2005, Barrick met its original production and cash cost targets and completed development of three new mines on schedule and largely within budget, and continued to make progress with its other development projects. These new mines made a significant contribution to production, earnings and cash flow for the Company.
2004
In 2004, Barrick met its original production and cash cost targets and made significant progress with its development projects. During 2004, the Company also increased reserves through the continued success of its exploration and district-development strategies.
2003
In 2003, Barrick met its production and total cash cost targets for the year, advanced its development projects, and implemented a new organization design using Regional Business Units in keeping with the Company’s growing global footprint.
2002
In 2002, Barrick announced a significant grassroots discovery, Lagunas Norte, on its Alto Chicama District in north-central Peru, which it had acquired earlier. The Company also created a unified district, the Frontera District, which straddles the Chile-Argentina border and contains both Pascua-Lama and Veladero. Pascua-Lama is one of the largest undeveloped gold and silver mining properties in the world.
2001
In 2001, Barrick merged with Homestake Mining Company, and added mines in North America, South America and Australia to its global portfolio. The Australian assets included Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM), a joint venture property, plus three operating mines and the Cowal Property, currently in development. The Barrick-Homestake merger created a combined company with the industry’s only A-rated balance sheet, a portfolio of large, low-cost properties, and commanding land positions in prolific gold-producing regions of the world.
2000
In 2000, in an extension of its district development approach, Barrick acquired Pangea Goldfields Inc., a mining exploration company with properties in Tanzania, Canada and Peru. As part of the acquisition, the Company acquired a 70 percent interest in the Tulawaka exploration property, located 200 road kilometres from the Bulyanhulu Mine. Barrick took Tulawaka through the development phase, and brought it into production in first quarter, 2005.
1999
In 1999, Barrick expanded to Africa, acquiring Sutton Resources Ltd., an exploration company with mineral properties in Tanzania, including the Bulyanhulu Gold Project. At the time of acquisition, the project’s gold reserves were 3.8 million ounces. Eighteen months later, Barrick had increased reserves to 10 million ounces and currently stands at 10.6 million ounces. Bulyanhulu began production in April 2001.
1996
In 1996, Barrick expanded its South American presence, acquiring Arequipa Resources Ltd., which had exploration properties in Peru, including Pierina. Within four months, Barrick had confirmed 6.5 million ounces of gold into reserves. Pierina began production in November 1998.
1994
In 1994, in a move aimed at ensuring growth in reserves and production, Barrick expanded beyond its North American base when it acquired Lac Minerals, Ltd., an international gold mining company with operating mines in Canada, the United States and Chile. The acquisition gave Barrick control of the El Indio Belt and an interest in the Veladero Project in Argentina.
