Senior Appointments Strengthen Barrick’s Exploration Team
August 03 2020 - 08:15AM
In line with its objective of finding and developing the best
assets, Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX) has
strengthened its exploration team through the appointment of
eminent geologists Aoife McGrath and Leandro Sastre in the newly
created positions of vice president exploration for Africa and
Middle East, and Latin America and Asia Pacific respectively.
McGrath has worked with and led exploration
teams in Africa, North and South America and Europe and her
experience spans the full spectrum of company size and exploration
stages. Named as one of the ‘Global 100 Inspirational Women
in Mining’, she has been involved in a number of major discoveries
and brings strong commercial skills to her new role.
Sastre was previously mine operations and
technical manager at the Veladero gold mine. His wide skills base
ranges from exploration through ore control to resource modelling.
He was closely involved with Exeter’s discovery and delineation of
the Caspiche orebody in Chile, now part of Barrick’s Norte Abierto
project, and the Cerro Moro orebody in Argentina, which is now an
operating mine.
President and chief executive Mark Bristow said
these appointments reflect Barrick’s commitment to what it regards
as its main growth driver. “Exploration has always been an integral
part of Barrick’s strategy of creating value and we look forward to
the contribution Aoife and Leandro will make towards adding to our
global mineral inventory,” he said.
