The Kibali gold mine – ranked among the world’s top ten gold mines – has “made a strong start” to this year after having set a new production record in 2018, Barrick Gold president and CEO Mark Bristow says. Bristow says the mine, which is a joint venture with AngloGold Ashanti and Democratic Republic of the Congo parastatal Sokimo, has continued to break records en route to its 2019 guidance of producing 750 000 oz – the latest being the 285 000 t of ore hoisted through the shaft in March.
