Barrick engages in the responsible production and sale of gold and copper, as well as related activities such as exploration and mine development. The company operates mines across North America, South America, Africa and the Middle East, delivering metals to global markets through a diversified portfolio of assets.
Barrick generates revenue primarily from the sale of gold bullion to the spot market and independent refineries, the sale of gold and copper concentrate to independent smelting and trading companies, and the sale of copper cathode to third party purchasers or on exchanges. By‑product silver recovered during processing also contributes to sales.
The company operates through the following segments:

• Cortez: This segment represents Barrick’s 61.5 percent interest in the Cortez gold mine in Nevada, an open pit and underground operation that supplies ore to processing facilities and contributes to gold output.
• Turquoise Ridge: This segment represents Barrick’s 61.5 percent interest in the Turquoise Ridge gold mine in Nevada, an underground mining operation that extracts gold from deep deposits and processes it on site.
• Pueblo Viejo: This segment represents Barrick’s 60 percent interest in the Pueblo Viejo gold mine in the Dominican Republic, a large scale open pit operation that produces gold and silver for global markets.
