Barrick raises greenhouse gas emission reduction target to 30%

Informal methods of gold production, known as "artisanal" or small-scale mining, have grown rapidly in recent years as demand for gold has boomed, pushing prices higher.

Barrick must either firm up its proposal to acquire the 36.1% of Acacia it does not own by June 18, or walk away for at least six months under British takeover law.

Though traditionally slow in adopting technological innovations, miners are increasingly adopting blockchains and smart contracts as a source of productivity and transparency gains.

Mexican protesters agreed to lift a blockade at Newmont Goldcorp's Penasquito mine on Friday.

As part of the PEA, the miner is re-evaluating the Alacrán mineral resource estimate.

Odey sees a takeover of Acacia as the only logical way forward for Barrick.

The twin tailwinds of rallying iron-ore prices and gold’s haven appeal have driven South African mining stocks to an almost 11-year high.

Discovery comes on the heels of a government's study showing the miner's Cascabel project will be one of the world’s ten largest copper, silver and gold mines.

Gold is back in vogue as trade-war risks fester and financial markets look ahead to next week’s Federal Reserve meeting.
