Nevada Gold Mines in Nevada, USA, is the single largest gold-mining complex in the world, producing approximately 3.5 million ounces a year. Owned 61.5% and operated by Barrick, it comprises three of the company’s Tier One assets, namely Carlin, Cortez and Turquoise Ridge, while the development of Barrick’s Goldrush-Fourmile project will secure Cortez’s Tier One status well into the future. Completing Barrick’s portfolio in the North America region is Hemlo in Ontario, Canada, which is being modernized and refocused to ensure its continued viability.
