(Adds details on costs in paragraphs 3 and 4)
Jan 16 (Reuters) – Canadian miner Barrick Gold Corp
rose sequentially for the fourth quarter.
The company’s total preliminary output was 1.05 million
ounces of gold and 113 million pounds of copper in the three
months ended Dec. 31, up from 1.04 million ounces of gold and
112 million pounds of copper in the previous quarter.
Barrick said it expects all-in sustaining costs (AISC) per
ounce of gold, an industry metric that reflects total expenses,
to rise about 8% to 10% from the previous quarter.
Copper’s AISC is, however, expected to be 2% to 4%
lower, largely on the back of lower capitalized waste stripping
at Barrick’s Lumwana mine in Zambia.
Barrick is scheduled to release its fourth-quarter
results on Feb. 14, 2024.
