CRITICISMS

Barrick Gold has been accused of a number of environmentally unsound practices, as well as illegal trading activities. These include the proposed use of Cyanide leach Tailing Dams for its gold mine project at Lake Cowal , the partial removal of semi-pristine glaciers in the Pascua Lama gold mine in Chile and the release of at least seven tons of mercury during 2004-2005 at the Super Pit Gold Mine near the city of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Western Australia .

Barrick has also been sued by Blanchard and Co. of New Orleans for allegedly manipulating the price of gold in an anti-competitive way.
