Barrick Gold Q1 profit surges, sees higher output ahead

May 5, 2021May 5, 2021 admin

Barrick Gold reported a 78% rise in first-quarter profit on Wednesday helped by rising gold and copper prices, and said it was on track to meet annual guidance.

Barrick said realised gold prices climbed 11.8% to $1 777/oz, while gold production fell to 1.10-million from 1.25-million ounces due partly to lower grades at its Pueblo Viejo mine in Dominican Republic.

SENTINEL’S FIRST QUARTER PRODUCTION UP 3 PERCENT

May 3, 2021May 3, 2021 admin

Production at First Quantum Minerals’ Sentinel Mine for the first quarter of 2021 was broadly in line with the company’s expectations, with production increasing by 3% year-on-year, according to the company’s latest results announcement to shareholders.
