Barrick to start drilling at Pueblo Grande project

Rules threaten the diamond and uranium producer's ability to attract investment.

The goal: to stop the metal’s use as a convenient financing tool for South American guerrillas, armed African rebels and drug traffickers.

Santa Luz is a fully constructed open pit mine, which originally started production mid-2013 but was placed on care and maintenance in 2014.

Hurricane Willa made landfall on Mexico's Pacific coast as a Category 3 on October 23, 2018.

The protesters have blockaded the access road directly outside of the main gate of the mine.

The project, located in the San Juan province, is about 10km from the border with Chile, the world’s No. 1 copper producer.

The project would make Kışladağ a nine-year, 270,000-ounce-per-annum gold mine.

Less than a year after B2Gold declared commercial production at its 80%-owned Fekola mine, the gold producer has updated the mine’s resource estimate.

The combined miner plans to focus on Tier 1 assets, those producing at least 500,000 ounces of gold annually, with a mine life of more than 10 years and low costs.
