Barrick Gold Corporation (GOLD - Free Report) has updated its mineral resource estimate for its fully-owned Fourmile project in Nevada, marking a 192% increase in indicated resources (1.4 million ounces grading 11.76g/t), a 137% rise in inferred resources (6.4 million ounces grading 14.1g/t) and a 35% increase in grade from Barrick's 2023 year-end mineral resource estimate.
The increases include the inclusion of 25 new drill holes in the 2023 mineral resource estimate throughout the southernmost region of the orebody and adjacent to the Goldrush project at Cortez, which is part of the Nevada Gold Mines ("NGM") joint venture.
The strategy of investing in organic expansion through exploration and mineral resource management has distinguished the company from the industry. The company believes in building real value through discovery and development rather than relying on rising gold prices to justify high-priced mergers and acquisitions.
Barrick’s shares have gained 10% in the past year compared with a 30.7% rise of the industry
