Turquoise Ridge (75%)

Oct 14, 2014



The Turquoise Ridge property is located in the Potosi Mining District, about 70 kilometers northeast of Winnemucca, Nevada, on the eastern flank of the Osgood Mountains. Barrick is the operator and 75% owner of the mine with Newmont owning the remaining 25%.
 
Turquoise Ridge uses underhand cut-and-fill mining methods and ore is transported to Newmont’s Twin Creeks mill for processing. The refractory gold ore is treated by pressure oxidation technology and gold is recovered using conventional carbon-in-leach technology.
 
Barrick’s share of gold production in 2013 was 167,000 ounces of gold at all-in sustaining costs of $927 per ounce. Barrick’s share of proven and probable mineral reserves as at December 31, 2013, was 5.1 million ounces of gold.
 
On a 100% basis, Turquoise Ridge contains over 6.7 million ounces in reserves at an average grade of 0.51 ounces per ton — the highest reserve grade deposit in Barrick's operating portfolio. This exceptional reserve base provides an excellent opportunity to both accelerate and expand production, but the operation is currently restricted by haulage and ventilation constraints. One option being considered is an additional shaft to reduce haulage distances. This could increase production by 75% for five to eight years. A pre-feasibility study on this scenario is expected to be completed in late 2014.
