Conversion drilling at both mines has again replenished their reserves after depletion and, on the exploration front, Barrick continues to consolidate a highly prospective footprint in the Nzega District, adding over 2,000km² of new areas to support mineral reserve growth and replenishment at North Mara and Bulyanhulu. This expansion is also key to Barrick's long-term strategy to identify Tier One 1 systems in the region. Twiga received numerous accolades in the past year, including recognition for its safety, top employer, environmental performance and community engagement. In 2024 North Mara was recognized as the largest economic contributor in Tanzania's extractive industry and received several awards for its commitment to occupational health and safety, corporate social responsibility, and local content compliance. "Barrick's work in Tanzania is a model for sustainable mining that balances economic, environmental, and social responsibility," said Bristow.
