Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management

Principle 15
Public Disclosure

Barrick, as a member of the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM), has fulfilled its commitment to provide disclosure under the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) for all of its tailings storage facilities under the GISTM by August 2025.

Barrick has also committed to provide access to detailed information about our tailings facilities under the GISTM is in keeping with our commitment to transparency and public accountability.

Of the 65 tailings storage facilities that Barrick owns, operates or has currently in design phase, only 17 are classified as ‘Extreme’ (five facilities) or ‘Very High’ (twelve facilities) under the GISTM. All 17 of these facilities conform with the requirements of the GISTM. Thirteen facilities are classified as being in ‘Safe Closure’ and are therefore not subject to the disclosure requirements of the GISTM, while one facility (Zaldivar TSF) is operated by a joint venture partner and is therefore not included in Barrick’s GISTM disclosures.

Regarding the Loulo-Gounkoto tailings facility, Barrick is currently in dispute with the government of Mali regarding the Loulo-Gounkoto gold mine. The Malian government has placed the operation under provisional administration. Hence Barrick lost all access to the Loulo-Gounkoto gold mine and its tailings storage facility. As a result, Barrick cannot disclose conformance to GISTM in 2025. The tailings storage facility was fully conforming to the GISTM in 2024. Read more on Mali.

The disclosure documents on this page have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Principle 15 of the GISTM and reviewed by Barrick’s Accountable Executive.

These disclosures will be updated as required by the GISTM.
