Our commitment to responsible mining and transparent communication
The letter below serves as Barrick’s response to accusations made by Earthworks, Global Justice Clinic and MiningWatch Canada in respect of the proposed expansion of the Pueblo Viejo mine in the Dominican Republic. Their deprecation is unfounded and we are making this letter public in order to provide the facts.
Barrick prides itself on being a good neighbour and the intended expansion of the Pueblo Viejo operation would increase the life of the mine for approximately 20 years and with it jobs, state revenues and exports, local business support and community infrastructure, providing long term value for all stakeholders.
The attachments referred to in Barrick’s response have been sent to Earthworks, Global Justice Clinic and MiningWatch Canada. Due to their size, the attachments are not included here, however, can be made available on request.
