Barrick staff to face charges

Barrick Gold Corp. confirmed on Friday an Argentine court will proceed with criminal charges against nine current and former Barrick employees in connection with a cyanide solution spill last year. Separately, the San Juan provincial government announced it intends to impose a fine of about $ 9 million against Barrick. “Barrick is not a party to any criminal cases,” said Andy Lloyd, a spokesman for Barrick.
