ELKO, Nev., Feb. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) has come a long way since 2019 when Barrick and Newmont pooled their assets in the state to create the world’s largest gold mining complex and is now making a strong start to the new year on the back of performance improvements and new growth prospects.

Emphasizing this point here today, Mark Bristow, president and chief executive of operator and majority shareholder Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX), said operational highlights of the past year included a record production by the post-merger Cortez and the continuing turnaround at Turquoise Ridge, which is beginning to live up to its Tier One¹ status again. The most significant development, however, was the completion of the Goldrush permitting process at the end of 2023. This enabled Cortez to accelerate the development of a key project which will already make a significant production contribution this year.
