Location
The project is located in Sanchez Ramirez pro­vince, in the Dominican Republic.

Project Owner/s
Barrick Gold Corporation.

Project Description
The proposed expansion of the Pueblo Viejo gold mine will extend its life until 2040 and beyond.

The expansion will enable the mine to exploit the lower grades in the orebody and is not intended to process ore from outside the current concession area.

Potential Job Creation
The company’s workforce, which is 97% Dominican, is expected to expand as the project develops and it will increase opportunities for women to participate.

It will also promote the development of the local economy based on the mine’s suppliers and contractors.

Capital Expenditure
The project will require an initial investment of $1.3-billion to expand the process plant and the tailings facility.
