Barrick Exploration Status<\/span><\/h3>\n

Barrick is committed to continually discovering and replacing assets and resources through search and selective acquisitions. Even in the years when the gold price was low, most companies were in a state of austerity, and the company was fully committed to discovering the Lagunas Norte deposit in Peru, which was one of the most important gold mine discoveries in the 1990s. The recent major discovery is the Kotz mine in Nevada (gold reserves of approximately 283 tons).<\/p>\n

Barrick has been focusing on the exploration of Nevada minerals, one of the most stable places in the world, and it has strong control over the minerals in Nevada. In 2014, Barrick’s 50% budget was allocated to the Nevada exploration project, mainly for prospecting and exploration of the Goldrush project. In addition to this project, Barrick still has other development opportunities and projects in the vicinity of Nevada, including Kotz and the Goldstrike project, which helps companies overcome risk and adjust capital.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
