• BARRICK GOLD CORP Profile

    In the world of mining, Barrick's name is golden. The company became the world's #1 gold producer (ahead of Newmont Mining and AngloGold Ashanti) after acquiring Placer Dome in 2006. Barrick churns out 8 million ounces of gold annually and has 125 million ounces in proved and probable reserves. Close to half of the company's production comes from its North American operations, which include the Goldstrike property, located in Nevada's Carlin Trend gold-producing region. Its properties outside of North America include projects in Tanzania, Peru, and Australia. With the acquisition of Placer Dome came significant copper mining operations; Barrick controls more than 6 billion pounds of copper reserves.
