On the back of higher Q4 production, preliminary gold production for the full year of 4.05 million ounces was consistent with our forecast as guided in our third quarter release.1 Preliminary copper production of 420 million pounds for 2023 was within the guidance range of 420 to 470 million pounds.

  • Total cash costs start with our cost of sales related to gold production and removes depreciation, the non-controlling interest of cost of sales and includes by-product credits.
  • C1 cash costs per pound excludes royalties and production taxes and non-routine charges as they are not direct production costs.
  • Finally, Barrick cautions that this press release contains forward-looking statements with respect to: (i) Barrick’s production; and (ii) costs per ounce for gold and per pound for copper.
