Barrick Gold Corporation announced that company is ready to invest in new gold and copper opportunities in partnership with the government of the DRC. Kibali was on track for another value-creating year on the back of a strong production performance. It was also well set to replace the ounces that were being depleted by mining with more of the same high quality.

Kibali's recently announced that a collaboration with the ARSP, the public regulator which oversees the country's sub-contracting sector, has already resulted in a range of initiatives, building on Kibali's industry leading local content strategy. Meanwhile, Kibali continues its transition to renewable energy with the planned commissioning of a 16MW solar plant and associated batteries in 2025. The plant will increase the renewable energy use from 81% to 85%, with the mine running solely on renewal power during the six-month rainy season.

In line with its commitment to biodiversity preservation, Kibali has embarked on a feasibility assessment in consultation with the ICCN for the introduction of additional white rhinos into the Garamba National Park.
