hemlo

The Hemlo property consists of Williams, an underground and open pit mine, located approximately 350 kilometers east of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Ore from the mine is fed to a standard grind, leach and carbon-in-pulp extraction mill.

Hemlo produced 235,000 ounces of gold in 2016, at a cost of sales of $795 per ounce, and all-in sustaining costs of $839 per ounce.1 Hemlo’s proven and probable mineral reserves as of December 31, 2016, were 1.6 million ounces of gold2 (25.8 million tonnes, grading 1.92 grams per tonne).

In 2017, gold production is expected to be 205,000-220,000 ounces, at a cost of sales of $830-$890 per ounce, and all-in sustaining costs of $890-$990 per ounce.1

Footnotes

  1. “All-in sustaining costs” per ounce of gold is a non-GAAP financial performance measure. “All-in sustaining costs” per ounce begins with cost of sales less, among other items, the impact of depreciation, and adds further costs which reflect the additional costs of operating a mine, primarily sustaining capital expenditures, general & administrative costs, and minesite exploration and evaluation costs. Barrick believes that the use of “all-in sustaining costs” per ounce will assist investors, analysts, and other stakeholders 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. “All-in sustaining costs” per ounce is intended to provide additional information only, and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Although a standardized definition of “all-in sustaining costs” was published in 2013 by the World Gold Council (a market development organization for the gold industry comprised of and funded by 18 gold mining companies from around the world, including Barrick), it is not a regulatory organization, and other companies may calculate this measure differently. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Further details on this non-GAAP measure are provided in the MD&A accompanying Barrick’s financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
