*Barrick expects to produce 3.6 million ounces of gold during 1999 at a cost of $125 (U.S.) an ounce, making it one of the lowest-cost gold producers in the world.* Globe says Barrick's Munk gets achievement award Barrick Gold Corp ABX Shares issued 401,814,498 May 26 close $25.20 Thu 27 May 99 In the News The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, May 27, edition that Barrick Gold chairman Peter Munk describes being in the gold mining industry these days as "almost like floating in misery." The Globe's Allan Robinson writes that Mr. Munk was given a lifetime achievement award yesterday for his role as a mine financier. The award, from the Toronto Stock Exchange, comes at a time when gold yesterday hit its lowest level in 20 years at $269.40 (U.S.) an ounce. Mr. Munk says one of his accomplishments was the development of a gold hedging strategy designed to protect his investment if gold prices fell. Barrick now has a stock market capitalization of $9.7-billion (Canadian) and the company estimates that it accounts for 40 per cent of all mining shares traded on the TSE and 20 per cent of trading done in mining companies globally. Barrick expects to produce 3.6 million ounces of gold during 1999 at a cost of $125 (U.S.) an ounce, making it one of the lowest-cost gold producers in the world. It produced 3.2 million ounces of gold at $160 an ounce during 1998. (c) Copyright 1999 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com
