JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – TSX-listed Barrick Gold has appointed Argentinian Pablo Marcet to the company's board of directors.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the company said his appointment reflected the increasingly important role the South American region will play in Barrick's long-term growth strategy.

“Many of Barrick's most significant projects are located in Argentina and Chile, including Pascua-Lama, Alturas, and Cerro Casale, along with the highly prospective El Indio belt, where we are actively exploring for new discoveries in a district already home to multiple world-class gold deposits,” said Barrick.

During his career Marcet has held senior management positions in geology, mining operations, and business development, including 15 years at BHP Billiton.

He also served as president of Northern Orion Resources' South American operations before the company's acquisition by Yamana Gold, and later as CEO of Waymar Resources, until its acquisition by Orosur Mining.

He also serves on the board of U3O8 Corp, a TSX-listed resource company focused on South America.
