NYSE- and TSX-listed Barrick Gold has appointed Nguvu Moja Security Services (NMSS) to assist in ensuring the safety of employees at its gold mines in Tanzania.
The Tanzanian-owned and managed firm is replacing an international security firm on site.
Barrick says the firm is already active at the North Mara operations, but will also be fully deployed at the Bulyanhulu and Buzwagi mines by mid-September.
The total number of Tanzanian security personnel now working at Barrick’s mines and administration office in the country is 462.
