Toronto-headquartered miner Barrick Gold is “committed to delivering” the Massawa gold project and is working with the Senegal government on “how best to bring the gold project to account”, CEO Mark Bristow said on Tuesday.
His comments follow a meeting with Senegal President Macky Sall earlier in the day and comes only weeks after newswire Bloomberg reported that the major is working with advisers to sell the project, which it acquired as part of its Randgold Resources acquisition.
