The third underground mine at Barrick Gold Corporation’s giant Loulo-Gounkoto gold complex, in Mali, has reached its first mining level and is scheduled to start delivering ore to the plant during the current quarter, president and CE Mark Bristow says. A prefeasibility study has started on two more mines on the Loulo permit - an underground operation at Loulo 3 and a large openpit mine at Yalea South.
