Barrick president and chief executive Mark Bristow says Barrick is publishing these further disclosures to provide public access to information about our tailings facilities, reflecting our ongoing commitment to transparency.
“As a member of the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM), Barrick has played an active role in developing the standard and has been a strong advocate for its industry-wide adoption. The GISTM aligns closely with our own comprehensive tailings management standards. A key focus for us is ensuring our tailings storage facilities are operated and closed responsibly,” said Bristow.
Barrick has also worked diligently toward bringing inactive tailings storage facilities into Safe Closure on a priority basis.
Group sustainability executive Grant Beringer said: “Achieving Safe Closure requires long-term risks to human health and the environment to be thoroughly assessed and mitigated. We currently have 13 facilities in Safe Closure, with five more targeted for next year.”
“The safe closure of these facilities requires stakeholders to be engaged, key biodiversity features conserved and cultural values protected.”
