Beyond Borders - September 2010

Barrick Gold Corporation has launched a web version of Beyond Borders, the company's magazine on responsible mining.

Beyond Borders features the latest news and updates on Barrick's social, environmental, safety and economic development programs around the world. The new web magazine, available at www.BarrickBeyondBorders.com, adapts content from the latest edition of the magazine and the past eight editions of Beyond Borders. The magazine compliments the company's annual Responsibility Report, which follows the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Guidelines.

"Many groups today are evaluating the performance of global mining companies like Barrick on how well they meet international standards of social and environmental responsibility," said Nancy White, Barrick's Director of Communications, Responsible Mining. "We created Beyond Borders to provide regular updates to our stakeholders about how Barrick is working to meet these standards and bring benefits to communities near our operations. The new web version will reach a much wider audience, with accurate content about Barrick’s global performance."

Readers are now able to use web search features to identify headline news and information by subject of interest, geographic region and individual mining operation. The print edition of the magazine will continue to be distributed in English and Spanish to thousands of company stakeholders and opinion leaders on five continents.
