Interesting document I just found. I wonder what it means for abx? Here's a snippet: "As such, we again direct your honors to the problems that transpired in this
area and why each of those events amount to no coincidence. During 1993-97,
George Herbert Walker Bush aka George Bush Senior attempted to change the
official mining act and in the process ran afoul of several severe national
laws. The severity of the damage can by no means be understated your honors,
as it affected residents across all of Tanzania and other neighboring
countries. As a result of all these infractions, it is alleged now that more
than a hundred miners were killed in sudden “accidents.” This was done with
the willing concert of the Black Eagle Trust which we will prove on record.
In the course of these events, massive child trafficking was conducted."

Gold's sharp rally late looks like short-covering -





August 17, 2018) - As you can see in the accompanying chart,
most of gold's $11 move to the upside this afternoon occurred
late in COMEX trading.
The sharp rally has the classic look of short-covering though
we won't have any data to back that hunch until
the Commitment of Traders report is released next week.
Many analysts over the past few weeks have pointed to
the record short position in gold as cause to be optimistic.
At some point, shorts need to cover their positions
in order to lock-in their profits.
Simultaneous to gold's reversal, the dollar took an
equally sharp tumble.
Both moved in the absence of any notable or publicly
disclosed political or economic news

Gold and silver were such a powerful money during the Founding of The United States of America

that the Founding Fathers declared that only gold or silver coins can be 'money' in America.

Since gold and silver coinage were heavy and inconvenient for a lot of transactions, they were stored in banks and a claim check was issued as a money substitute.

People traded their coupons as money, or 'currency.' Currency is not money, but a money substitute. Redeemable currency must promise to pay a dollar equivalent in gold or silver money. Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) make no such promises and are not 'money.'



It is essential that we comprehend the distinction between real money and paper money substitute. One cannot get rich by accumulating money substitutes, one can only get deeper into debt. We the People no longer have any 'money.'

Most Americans have not been paid any 'money' for a very long time, perhaps not in their entire life. Now do you comprehend why you feel broke? Now do you understand why you are 'bankrupt,' along with the rest of the country?

Recommendations

Gold shares have been a major disappointment due in part to the super strong US dollar. Jewelry demand also declined and it appears that the gold backed exchange traded funds (ETFs) were also sellers in the latest quarter. However, taking advantage of the weakness, central banks have added to their reserves led by Russia, Turkey and Kazakhstan. Meanwhile, total mine supply is expected to decline in part because there have been so few new mines. Noteworthy in the latest quarter, the largest producers like Goldcorp, Barrick and Newmont reported declining production. Gold exploration budgets have fallen and despite a higher gold price in 2018, few producers increased reserves.

Miners’ cost cutting has more or less reached their limits. After restructuring costs, replenishing balance sheets and selling off high cost assets, the industry is poised to focus on organic growth to replenish depleting reserves. Unfortunately, the low hanging fruit has been plucked so, management is forced to be more selective, particularly after taking some $30 billion in write-offs a few year ago.

Growth and sustainability go hand in hand. Because of improved balance sheets, the industry has focused on bite sized acquisitions like Lundin Mining’s bid for Nevsun’s Timok deposit in Serbia, or McEwen Mining’s purchase of the Black Fox mine in Ontario for $35 million. Barrick, the world’s largest gold producer is even financing junior exploration plays like Midas in Nevada or Atac in B.C. in a portfolio approach. Goldcorp and Kinross are the exceptions focusing instead on potentially larger development project like Goldcorp’s Norte Abierto (formally Cerro Casales) or Goldcorp’s Kaminak in Yukon or Nuevo Union whose Phase 1 capex is a whopping $3.4 billion. Newmont will pay $275 million to Novagold for its stake in Galore Creek, which is more of a down payment because of the hefty capex price tag.

Exploration plays are few and far between except for Australian Novo’s Pilbara play or Keith Barron’s Aurania in the Ecuadorian Lost Cities play. Nonetheless we believe the neglect will be rewarded because gold stocks are trading at their lows with their market cap per ounce per in-situ reserves averaging a paltry $350 per ounce. It’s cheaper to buy ounces on Bay Street than to explore.

Within our coverage list, our favourites are Barrick, and Agnico Eagle among the seniors. We also like B2Gold and view McEwen Mining as an up-and-comer. Performance minded portfolio managers are under pressure to perform and there is a barbell effect with successful companies like Agnico Eagle and Kirkland Lake Gold on one end and with underperforming ones like New Gold, Eldorado, and Detour on the other end.

Barrick Gold Corp.

Executive Chairman, John Thorton has created a partnership structure within Barrick so Kelvin Dushnisky’s replacement will likely come from within. Significantly, Barrick is on the road to recovery and we expect growth to come from its own in situ resource. Barrick has successfully executed a restructuring that sold assets, paid down debt and refocused management. Today, Barrick mines gold at a profit, generating free cash flow and is now poised for growth.

Barrick has the world’s largest gold reserve position at more than 65 million ounces. The drop in reserves was due to off loading higher cost ounces as part of asset sales. Barrick will nonetheless produce 5 million ounces under $900 an ounce. Barrick has slashed total debt by $10 billion and has a cash balance of $2.1 billion. Reports that Barrick was one of the players interested in Detour are misplaced. We believe that Barrick has looked at Detour Gold numerous times but would not be interested in this low grade open pit operation after off loading similarly high cost mines. Barrick’s core position is in Nevada and the company has been expanding the Deep South project as well as the existing Turquoise Hill in Nevada and Gold Rush’s four mile discovery. Regarding Pascua Lama, the Chinese Shandong Gold joint venture was upgraded and Lama might be jointly developed. We like Barrick here for its core assets, large reserve position and management expertise.

B2Gold Corp.

B2Gold had a strong quarter from Fekola in Mali and the Masbate mine in the Philippines. Fekola continues to operate above nameplate capacity and guidance. Otjikoto in Namibia produced in line with expectations. B2Gold's Nicaraguan mines, El Limon and La Libertad, however had a soft quarter in part due to a work stoppage at El Limon. Nonetheless, the company has boosted its exploration budget at Fekola because of recent good news. We like the shares here for its rising reserve and production profile.

Detour Gold Corp.

Detour is fighting hedge fund player John Paulson’s attempt to put the company into play. Ontario based Detour unveiled yet another life of mine plan and the company is of the view that they can go it alone. Management is optimistic and has focused on cost reduction. However, it is obvious that at current prices, Detour cannot make money. Detour's problem is that while the mine is well-built, grade is too low and thus cannot take advantage of efficiencies. Also, Detour’s expansion is in limbo partly due to protracted negotiations with the Moose Creek. We do not expect much to happen with respect to a sell process and believe that Paulson is “just talking his book”. We would take advantage of the strength and sell.

Iamgold Corporation

Iamgold’s crown jewel Essakane mine in Burkina Faso performed well and the company has been focusing on the Côté Lake gold joint venture with Sumitomo of Japan targeting a feasibility study next year. Iamgold also talked about Saramacca which ties in with the expansion at Rosebel in Suriname. Mid-tier Iamgold should produce about 875,000 ounces this year at an all in cost about $1000 an ounce. Westwood in Quebec is in the ramp up phase with underground development. Iamgold's expects to release a reserve at Saramacca in the second half. This likely will be followed by a production decision at the start of next year. In fact, 15 km northwest of Saramacca there is another potential discovery. Reserves are at 14.5 million ounces with Côté at almost 4 million ounces. However, we think that the start date is optimistic at this time. We prefer B2Gold here.

Kinross Gold Corporation

Kinross had a good quarter at Fort Knox in Alaska where the nearby Gilmore purchase added 2 million ounces to reserves, bringing reserves to 26 million ounces. However, pit wall instability continues to cost ounces. Meanwhile Kinross’ Tasiast operation is continuing but needed are higher prices. Kinross is still in discussions with the government of Mauritania, who rejected one of the key permits to expand Tasiast which has cast a pall over Kinross shares. Moreover, in Ghana there is a review of the mining code and tax policies which would adversely affect Kinross’ Chirano mne. While it is early days, the disappointment has hurt Kinross. Nonetheless, Kinross’ balance sheet is strong allowing it to weather potential problems. Kinross’ Nevada operations continue to perform well with Bald Mountain achieving strong results. Kinross has a portfolio of eight operating mines and while diversified, the heightened geopolitical concerns will see Kinross trade at a discount.

Yamana Gold Inc.

Yamana had a good quarter with a contribution from newly commissioned Cerro Moro in Argentina, which is milling at 900 tonnes per day or 90 percent of capacity. Cerro will produce 85,000 ounces and 3.7 million ounces of silver. Excluding cast-off Brio, Yamana operates five mine with all in costs less than $900/oz. El Penon and Chapada were strong contributiors and the Company should produce 900,000 ounces plus 120 million lbs of copper. Disappointing however was little progress in paying down a whopping $1.6 billion debt, largely incurred to buy half of Canadian Malartic. We would avoid the shares here. Sell.

Barrick Gold makes China investor push as markets slump

Reuters
08/01/2018
By Susan Taylor

TORONTO, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Barrick Gold Corp will make a bigger push to attract institutional investors in China under a new deeper-ties pact with Shandong Gold, aimed at bolstering its shareholder base, executives told Reuters.

Bruised by a strong U.S. dollar, the price of gold is nearing a one-year low, with speculators holding record short positions.

China, the world's largest producer and consumer of gold, is a largely untapped investor source for western miners, said Barrick's China President Woo Lee.

"We're establishing relationships with some of these large investors in China - that's something that we haven't had before," Lee said in an interview. "Because Shandong knows the market far better than we do, they are potentially a good source of introductions to the best investors."

Barrick hopes the addition of long-term Chinese investors will boost the demand and value of its stock which has sunk about 31 percent over the past year, underperforming the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index, which has dropped 6.5 percent, and a 3.5 percent drop in spot gold prices.

Shares shed 10 percent over the last seven sessions alone, as Barrick reported a money-losing quarter, production declines and its president's departure without a named successor.

Gold miners have largely failed to woo generalist investors by rebranding as steady, predictable performers. Instead, cannabis and electric vehicle equities have attracted investment and gold investors opted for exchange-traded funds.

Barrick and Shandong are now opening doors to their investor, financing, service and supplier networks in a second cooperation deal following last April's sale of half of Barrick's prized Argentine mine to Shandong for $960 million.

Shandong joined the head of Barrick's supply chain in his first meetings with suppliers in China, Lee said, aimed at securing cheaper materials for the Argentine mine.

Barrick Chairman John Thornton believes China will dominate the gold industry, making strong connections critical. Chinese investment is one piece of a long-term strategy, but Lee said it will take time to see results.

The companies, which had considered joint investment in projects, will now assess acquisitions and asset sales.

With pressure on Barrick to grow, after years of asset sales to cut debt, the Shandong tie-up could reduce deal-making and development risk.

"People are asking where the growth is coming from and there's rumors circulating around acquisitions," said fund manager Jamie Horvat at M&G Investment, which holds 7.8 million Barrick shares, according to Reuters data.

"Barrick is trying to assuage fears that if they do some (deal) they're not going to bet the bank, and the whole company, on growth for growth's sake." (Reporting by Susan Taylor; Editing by Bernadette Baum)

Barrick Gold: Complete Analysis Of The Second Quarter 2018 Results

Jul. 30, 2018 11:02 AM ET
Fun Trading - Seeking Alpha

Summary

Barrick Gold released its second quarter results on July 25. The market was not impressed.

ABX reported a net loss for the quarter of $94 million or a loss of $0.08 a share, and negative $171 million in free cash flow.

I view the recent stock slide as an opportunity to accumulate the stock at $11, which appears to be an excellent entry point for the long-term.

Investment Thesis

Barrick Gold (ABX) is one of the largest gold producers in the world that should be part of your long-term gold portfolio, in spite of an over-sized company which has been struggling for years from recurring mines issues and a high-level debt burden on its balance sheet. I view the recent stock slide as an opportunity to accumulate the stock at $11, which appears to be an excellent entry point for the long-term.

The debt was over $12.75 billion in 4Q'14 and has been cut to $6.39 billion (net debt $4.3 billion) at the end of the second quarter. The debt reduction has been driven mainly by selling the company's non-core assets to optimize its balance sheet.

In the conference call, Catherine P. Raw, the CFO, said:

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Barrick completed a make-whole purchase of the outstanding principal of the 2021 notes, $629 million, reducing our total debt to just under $5.8 billion.

The debt is expected to reach $5 billion at the end of this year which is quite an achievement and represents repayment of over $10 billion over the past five years. The company has less than $100 million in debt due before 2020, and more than 85% of Barrick Gold outstanding debt matures after 2032.

However, despite an impressive comeback in 2016, the stock price has been sliding down regularly.

The company continues to expect full-year gold production of 4.5-5.0 million ounces, at the cost of sales of $810-$850 per ounce, and all-in sustaining costs of $765-$815 per ounce. Meanwhile, guidance for Copper has been slightly reduced to 345-410 million Lb.

Barrick Gold expects gold production in the third quarter to be over 1.2 million ounces, up from just over 1 million ounces in the second quarter.

Gold Production for second-quarter 2018 was quite low but still in-line with previous guidance. Gold production for the third quarter is expected to be 1.2 million ounces.

Production of gold is down 25.5% from a year ago, and up 1.7% sequentially. The gold output is a multi-year low as just a bit better than the preceding quarter.

Greg Walker said in the conference call that scheduled maintenance shutdowns impacted production at the Barrick Nevada roaster and the Pueblo Viejo autoclave and he was pleased to announce that both these shutdowns were successfully optimized.

AISC (by-product basis) is still one of the best in the industry with $856 per ounce in 2Q'18, which gives a $450 per ounce profit margin based on $1,306/ Oz for gold.

The second half of the year the company expects a stronger performance from Barrick Nevada and Pueblo Viejo (Moore pit,) as well as the restoration of full production processing capacity at Porgera much earlier than anticipated following the earthquake in late February.

Greg Walker said in the conference call:

On the copper side, production for the second quarter was 83 million pounds at an all-in sustaining cost of $3.04 a pound, and C1 cash costs of $2.10 a pound. Looking forward, copper production is expected to improve progressively over the third and fourth quarters, driven by a steady improvement in grade and the crusher reliability at Lumwana, as well as the optimization of the stacking procedures at Zaldivar.

2 - Balance Sheet analysis

Barrick reported its second quarter 2018 results on July 25, 2018. The company delivered earnings that missed expectation on both earnings and revenues and the stock got severely punished by the market. ABX reported a net loss for the quarter of $94 million or a loss of $0.08 a share, adjusted earnings of $81 million or $0.07 a share, and operating cash flow of $141 million.

One crucial financial element that deserves some serious attention is the ability of the company to deliver sufficient free cash flow.

Free cash flow for the quarter was negative $172 million. Planned maintenance activities at Barrick Nevada and Pueblo Viejo and unplanned downtime at the Lumwana crusher impacted negatively free cash flow despite a slightly lower CapEx sequentially.

Free cash flow is an important clue that should always be carefully evaluated when looking at a long-term investment. ABX passes the test here on a yearly basis.

Gold reserves are down by 25% last year to 64.55 M Oz, as it sold off some non-core assets and changed its plan for a South American asset. The past two years divestitures have degraded Barrick’s mining footprint and a few analysts have raised concerns about dwindling gold reserves and rising costs at its mines.

Conclusion

Barrick Gold presents a rock-solid balance sheet despite weak second-quarter results with a surprising negative $172 million in free cash flow.

It is the bottom line for investors that should view the recent stock weakness not as a reason to sell but an opportunity to accumulate instead, at least slowly, it is what we are doing.

The timing of the second quarter release coincided with a selling pressure in the gold price adding more gloom to the weak results. Furthermore, the CEO Kelvin Dushnisky is leaving the company to join AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE:AU) as its chief executive officer effective September 1, 2018, which added more uncertainty.

As I said many times, trading ABX in correlation with the gold price is imperative, and these results are another undeniable evidence.

Technical Analysis (short term).

ABX is the perfect example of a negative breakout ending a six months ascending triangle pattern. In general, ascending triangles are bullish but not in this case, the dropping of the gold price triggered a sell-off instead which accelerated with the disappointing results. The stock is testing the March low at $11 (double bottom) and I recommend a buy at $11 and lower.

Disclosure: I/we have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in ABX over the next 72 hours.

Additional disclosure: I will buy back a long-term position starting next week.

China used to rail against the outsize role of the U.S. dollar.
But in a major turnaround, the world's second-biggest economy has
started embracing the currency of its larger rival.

Chinese companies and banks -- and even the government -- sold bonds
denominated in dollars at a record pace last year, and underwriters
expect that growth to continue for years.
The roughly half-trillion-dollar market has two key attractions for
China's borrowers. For some, it's an easier place to raise cash than
at home -- where regulators are cracking down on leverage.
For others, dollars are simply easier to use to fund acquisitions
and investments abroad.

... Dispatch continues below ...

http://www.hardassetsalliance.com/go/v34pm4/GAT

The upshot: There's a large and growing supply of dollar securities
that offer exposure to Chinese companies for investors wary of
diving into the country's increasingly accessible yuan --
denominated domestic debt.
The offshore bond market is also set to provide a stake in
President Xi Jinping's "Belt and Road" initiative (BRI) --
a grand plan that envisions deepening trade and investment ties
with countries across the Eurasian landmass and beyond.
Bankers see the BRI as a key source of growth in Chinese dollar bonds. ...

Currency war erupts as Trump blames China, EU for 'manipulating'

Submitted by cpowell on 07:19PM ET Friday, July 20, 2018. Section: Daily Dispatches
By Katherine Greifeld
Bloomberg News
Friday, July 20, 2018

The currency war has arrived.

So say some of the best and brightest in the $5.1 trillion-per-day foreign-exchange market. U.S. President Donald Trump took to Twitter Friday to accuse China and the European Union of "manipulating their currencies and interest rates lower." The comments came today after the yuan plunged past 6.80 per dollar for the first time in a year and as the nation's central bank shows little sign of intervening to stem the slide.

As the world's two largest economies open up a new front in their increasingly acrimonious game of brinkmanship, the consequences could be dire -- and ripple far beyond the U.S. and Chinese currencies. Everything from equities to oil to emerging-market assets are in danger of becoming collateral damage as Beijing and Washington threaten the current global financial order.

"The real risk is that we have broad-based unravelling of global trade and currency cooperation, and that is not going to be pretty," said Jens Nordvig, Wall Street's top-ranked currency strategist for five years running before founding Exante Data LLC in 2016. "Trump's rhetoric over the last 24 hours is certainly shifting this from a trade war to a currency war." ...
The Treasury Department declined to comment when asked whether the U.S. was entering a currency war.

The greenback will likely continue to suffer as investors heed Trump and back out of long dollar wagers, according to Shahab Jalinoos, Credit Suisse Group AG's global head of FX trading strategy. Hedge funds and other speculators are the most bullish on the currency in over a year, according to the latest data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

"It has now been virtually defined as a currency war by the U.S. president, given that he explicitly suggested foreign countries are manipulating exchange rates for competitive purposes," Jalinoos said. "The barrage of commentary will likely force the market to scale back long dollar positions."

Press Release
BARRICK REPORTS PRELIMINARY SECOND QUARTER PRODUCTION RESULTS
(opens in new window) DOWNLOAD PDF

JULY 11, 2018
ALL AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS
TORONTO — Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:ABX)(TSX:ABX) (“Barrick” or the “Company”) today announced preliminary second quarter production of 1.07 million ounces of gold, and 83 million pounds of copper, as well as preliminary second quarter sales of 1.04 million ounces of gold, and 74 million pounds of copper. The average market price for gold in the second quarter was $1,306 per ounce, while the average market price for copper was $3.12 per pound.

Preliminary second quarter gold production of 1.07 million ounces was roughly in line with the first quarter of the year. Second quarter gold cost of sales per ounce1 is expected to be slightly higher quarter-over-quarter, with cash costs per ounce2 and all-in sustaining costs per ounce2 approximately 5-7 percent higher than the first quarter. This was primarily driven by planned maintenance at the Barrick Nevada roaster and the Pueblo Viejo autoclaves.

We are maintaining our 2018 consolidated gold production guidance of 4.5-5.0 million ounces, at a cost of sales of $810-$850 per ounce1, cash costs2 of $540-$575 per ounce, and all-in sustaining costs2 of $765-$815 per ounce.3 We expect gold production to be higher in the second half of the year following the completion of major planned maintenance shutdowns in the first half of 2018, along with reduced development and stripping in the second half of the year. Costs are expected to be lower in the second half of 2018, reflecting increased production from our lower-cost operations at Barrick Nevada and Pueblo Viejo, with higher grades and increased throughput following the completion of scheduled maintenance. Full processing capacity has also been restored at the Porgera Joint Venture earlier than our initial expectations, following the earthquake that struck Papua New Guinea on February 26, 2018.

Preliminary copper production in the second quarter of 83 million pounds was slightly lower than the first quarter. We expect a quarter-over-quarter increase in our consolidated copper cost of sales per pound1 and C1 cash costs per pound2 of approximately 17-19 percent and 11-13 percent, respectively, due to higher crusher repair costs. Capitalized stripping at Lumwana was also higher than first quarter, in line with the mine plan, leading to consolidated all-in sustaining costs per pound2 that are approximately 15-17 percent higher than the first quarter.

We are adjusting our 2018 copper production guidance to 345-410 million pounds, compared to our initial guidance of 385-450 million pounds.3 We also expect copper cost of sales per pound1 to be $2.00-$2.30, C1 cash costs2 to be $1.80-$2.00 per pound, and all-in sustaining costs2 to be $2.55-$2.85 per pound.3 This compares to initial guidance of $1.80-$2.10 per pound, $1.55-$1.75 per pound, and $2.30-$2.60 per pound, respectively. The revisions to our copper production and cost guidance primarily reflect operational challenges at Lumwana in the first half of the year. We expect higher production at Lumwana in the second half of 2018, driven by a steady improvement in grade and improved crusher reliability.

Barrick will provide additional discussion and analysis regarding second quarter production and sales when the Company reports quarterly results on July 25, 2018, followed by a conference call and webcast on July 26 at 8:00 am ET. The following table includes preliminary gold and copper production and sales results from our operations:

Technical Information
The scientific and technical information contained in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Geoffrey Locke, P. Eng., Manager, Metallurgy of Barrick who is a “Qualified Person” as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Second Quarter 2018 Results
Barrick will release its Second Quarter 2018 Results on July 25, 2018, followed by a conference call and webcast on July 26 at 8:00 am ET.

Toll Free (U.S. and Canada): 1-800-319-4610
International: [phone]

The webcast and presentation materials will be available on Barrick’s website. The conference call will be available for replay by phone at 1-855-669-9658 (U.S. and Canada toll free), and [phone] (international), access code 2352.

Endnote 1
Cost of sales applicable to gold per ounce is calculated using cost of sales applicable to gold on an attributable basis (removing the non-controlling interest of 40% Pueblo Viejo and 36.1% Acacia from cost of sales), divided by attributable gold ounces. Cost of sales applicable to copper per pound is calculated using cost of sales applicable to copper including our proportionate share of cost of sales attributable to equity method investments (Zaldívar and Jabal Sayid), divided by consolidated copper pounds (including our proportionate share of copper pounds from our equity method investments).

Endnote 2
Cash costs per ounce and all-in sustaining costs per ounce are non-GAAP financial measures which are calculated based on the definition published by the World Gold Council (“WGC”) (a market development organization for the gold industry comprised of and funded by 24 gold mining companies from around the world, including Barrick). The WGC is not a regulatory organization. Management uses these measures to monitor the performance of our gold mining operations and its ability to generate positive cash flow, both on an individual site basis and an overall company basis.

Cash costs start with our cost of sales related to gold production and removes depreciation, the non-controlling interest of cost of sales and includes by-product credits. All-in sustaining costs start with cash costs and include sustaining capital expenditures, general and administrative costs, minesite exploration and evaluation costs and reclamation cost accretion and amortization. These additional costs reflect the expenditures made to maintain current production levels.

We believe that our use of cash costs and all-in sustaining costs will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of Barrick in understanding the costs associated with producing gold, understanding the economics of gold mining, assessing our operating performance and also our ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and to generate free cash flow on an overall company basis. Due to the capital-intensive nature of the industry and the long useful lives over which these items are depreciated, there can be a significant timing difference between net earnings calculated in accordance with IFRS and the amount of free cash flow that is being generated by a mine and therefore we believe these measures are useful non-GAAP operating metrics and supplement our IFRS disclosures. These measures are not representative of all of our cash expenditures as they do not include income tax payments, interest costs or dividend payments. These measures do not include depreciation or amortization.

Cash costs per ounce and all-in sustaining costs are intended to provide additional information only and do not have standardized definitions under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not equivalent to net income or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Although the WGC has published a standardized definition, other companies may calculate these measures differently.

C1 cash costs per pound and all-in sustaining costs per pound are non-GAAP financial measures related to our copper mine operations. We believe that C1 cash costs per pound enables investors to better understand the performance of our copper operations in comparison to other copper producers who present results on a similar basis. C1 cash costs per pound excludes royalties and non-routine charges as they are not direct production costs. All-in sustaining costs per pound is similar to the gold all-in sustaining costs metric and management uses this to better evaluate the costs of copper production. We believe this measure enables investors to better understand the operating performance of our copper mines as this measure reflects all of the sustaining expenditures incurred in order to produce copper. All-in sustaining costs per pound includes C1 cash costs, corporate general and administrative costs, minesite exploration and evaluation costs, royalties, environmental rehabilitation costs and write-downs taken on inventory to net realizable value.

Barrick will provide a full reconciliation of our final non-GAAP financial measures when the Company reports its quarterly results on July 25, 2018.

Endnote 3
2018 guidance is based on gold, copper, WTI oil price and Brent oil price assumptions of $1,200/oz, $2.75/lb, $65/bbl and $70/bbl respectively, a USD:AUD exchange rate of 0.75:1, a CAD:USD exchange rate of 1.25:1, a ARS:USD exchange rate of 18.35:1 and a CLP:USD exchange rate of 650:1.

Endnote 4
Includes our 60% equity share of South Arturo.

Endnote 5
Reflects our 50% equity share of Veladero.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Preliminary Second Quarter Production, Sales and Costs for 2018 and Forward-Looking Information
Barrick cautions that, whether or not expressly stated, all second quarter figures contained in this press release including, without limitation, production levels and sales and associated costs (including, costs of sales per ounce for gold and per pound for copper, all-in sustaining costs per ounce/pound, cash costs per ounce, and C1 cash costs per pound) are preliminary and reflect our expected second quarter results as of the date of this press release. Actual reported second quarter production levels and sales and associated costs are subject to management’s final review, as well as review by the Company’s independent accounting firm, and may vary significantly from those expectations because of a number of factors, including, without limitation, additional or revised information, and changes in accounting standards or policies, or in how those standards are applied. Barrick will provide additional discussion and analysis and other important information about its second quarter production levels and sales and associated costs when it reports actual results on July 25, 2018. For a complete picture of the Company’s financial performance, it will be necessary to review all of the information in the Company’s second quarter financial report and related MD&A. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to rely solely on the information contained herein.

Finally, Barrick cautions that this press release contains forward-looking statements with respect to (i) Barrick’s forward-looking production guidance; (ii) estimates of future cost of sales per ounce for gold and per pound for copper, all-in sustaining costs per ounce/pound, cash costs per ounce, and C1 cash costs per pound; and (iii) expectations regarding operations during the second half of 2018 at Barrick Nevada, Pueblo Viejo, Porgera and Lumwana.

Conversion of Pueblo Viejo Power Plant to Natural Gas

https://www.barrick.com/news/news-details/2018/Barrick-Announces-Conversion-of-Pueblo-Viejo-Power-Plant-to-Natural-Gas/default.aspx

PVDC will invest roughly $7.5 million to convert Quisqueya I to natural
gas, an investment that significantly exceeds Barrick’s 15 percent
hurdle rate. AES will construct a new gas pipeline to the facility,
with commercial gas production expected to begin in the second half of
2019.

Barrick is currently advancing prefeasibility-level studies for a plant
expansion at the Pueblo Viejo mine that has the potential to
significantly increase throughput at the operation4.
Conversion of the power plant to natural gas is anticipated to further
strengthen the economics of the project.

PVDC was advised by the Houston office of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP.

About AES
AES Corporation (NYSE:AES) is a Fortune 200 global power company that
provides affordable, sustainable energy to 15 countries through a
diverse portfolio of distribution businesses as well as thermal and
renewable generation facilities.

Pueblo Viejo, Goldcorp’s joint venture gold mine in the Dominican
Republic, has just taken a huge step towards becoming a more
sustainable mine.

One of the world’s largest gold mines, Pueblo Vieja, operated by
Pueblo Viejo Dominicana Corporation (PVDC), a joint venture between
Barrick Gold Corporation (60%) and Goldcorp (40%), announced that it
has signed a 10-year natural gas supply contract, generating key cost- savings at the operation.

https://www.barrick.com/news/default.aspx

https://blog.goldcorp.com/2018/06/20/pueblo-viejo-power-plant-to-convert-to-natural-gas/

PVDC owns and operates the Quisqueya I power generation facility and
also supplies power to the Pueblo Viejo mine, and will convert the
power plant from heavy fuel oil to natural gas.

Converting the power plant that feeds Pueblo Viejo from oil to natural
gas is expected to reduce the operation’s average cost of sales and
all-in sustaining costs by about $54 per ounce over the life of the
mine, supported in part by the sale of excess power to the national
energy grid.
In switching to natural gas, PVDC is expected to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions at Pueblo Viejo by approximately 260,000 CO2 equivalent
tonnes per year.

A new gas pipeline will be constructed and PVDC will invest around $7.5
million to convert Quisqueya I to natural gas, with commercial gas
production expected to begin in the second half of 2019.

Located 100 kilometres northwest of Santa Domingo, Pueblo Viejo produces
gold, silver and copper and began commercial production in 2013.
Goldcorp’s share of gold produced at Pueblo Viejo in 2017 was 433,000
ounces.
A project to expand mineral processing capacity is in the pre-
feasibility stage.

Robert Lambourne: BIS gold derivatives down in March, back up in April

Submitted by cpowell on 11:56PM ET Tuesday, May 8, 2018. Section: Daily
Dispatches
By Robert Lambourne
Tuesday, May 8, 2018

The Bank for International Settlements has just published, on the same
day, its monthly statement of account for March 2018 as well as its
monthly statement for April 2018:

https://www.bis.org/banking/balsheet/statofacc180331.pdf

https://www.bis.org/banking/balsheet/statofacc180430.pdf

From these statements it is possible to deduce that during March the BIS
reduced by about 165 tonnes its use of gold swaps and other gold-
related derivatives, but subsequently in April the bank's use of gold
swaps and other gold-related derivatives increased by about 60 tonnes.

It seems that the BIS is continuing to trade actively in gold
derivatives and the amounts disclosed each month have been following an
irregular pattern.

... Dispatch continues below ...

Click here to learn more:

http://www.hardassetsalliance.com/go/v34pm4/GAT


The information provided in the BIS monthly statements is not sufficient
to calculate a precise amount of gold-related derivatives, including
swaps, but it appears that the bank's total exposure as of April 30,
2018, was 420 tonnes of gold.
This compares to estimates of 360 tonnes, 525 tonnes, 580 tonnes, 450
tonnes, 600 tonnes, and 570 tonnes, respectively, at the February,
January, December, November, and October month-ends and an audited
swaps figure of 438 tonnes as of March 31, 2017.

When it comes to its activities in the gold market, the BIS provides
little information on what it is doing, why, and for whom. This lack of
transparency fuels suspicion that the bank's trading is related to
official efforts to suppress the gold price.

Barrick Announces Passing of Founder and Chairman Emeritus Peter Munk

TORONTO, March 28, 2018 — It is with deep sadness that Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:ABX)(TSX:ABX) (Barrick or the “Company”) announces the passing of the Company’s Founder and Chairman Emeritus, Peter Munk. Munk passed away peacefully in Toronto today, surrounded by his family. He was 90.

Munk, an iconic Canadian entrepreneur and philanthropist, was born in Budapest in 1927. When the Nazis invaded Hungary in 1944, he escaped with his family, ultimately arriving in Toronto in 1948 at the age of 20. An immigrant with neither social connections nor a command of English, Munk nevertheless felt welcomed by Canadians, and he would go on to profess a lifelong love of his adoptive country. In 2011, he remarked, “This is a country that does not ask about your origins but concerns itself with your destiny.”

Munk founded Barrick in 1983 and built it into the world’s largest gold mining company in less than twenty-five years. He did so by leading a small team of partners who trusted one another implicitly and who together balanced boldness and prudence in the pursuit of fierce entrepreneurial ambitions.

One of Canada’s most significant philanthropists, Munk donated nearly $300 million to causes and institutions that were close to his heart. With his wife, Melanie, he established the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre at the Toronto General Hospital in 1997. Munk donated more than $175 million to the institution, including a $100 million contribution in 2017 that remains the largest single gift ever made to a Canadian hospital. To his alma mater, the University of Toronto, Munk gave $47 million to create what has become Canada’s preeminent degree-granting institution for the research and study of global affairs, the Munk School of Global Affairs. In 2008, he founded The Munk Debates, which quickly became Canada’s most important public policy debate series, bringing the world’s brightest minds together to debate the biggest issues of our time.

For his leadership as an entrepreneur and philanthropist, Munk received numerous awards and honors, including honorary doctorates from the University of Toronto, Concordia University, Bishop’s University, and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. In 2008, he was named a Companion of the Order of Canada, the country’s highest civilian honor, limited to no more than 165 living Canadians at any one time.

Munk is survived by Melanie, his wife of forty-five years; by his five children, Anthony, Nina, Marc-David, Natalie, and Cheyne; and by his fourteen grandchildren.

Please visit www.barrick.com/peter-munk for more about the life of Peter Munk.

His memory lives on with more than 10,000 Barrick employees on five continents, as well as the countless individuals and communities he touched through his philanthropy in Canada and around the world.

Details of a public memorial service will be released at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre (www.uhn.ca/PMCC).
