Gold miner Barrick Gold revealed at a media briefing in Kinshasha, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), on January 21, that underground drilling at the Kibali gold mine’s KCD orebody was defining a new high-grade lode above the base of the existing shaft infrastructure. Barrick president and CEO Mark Bristow said this was an “exciting discovery”, which could add an entirely new orebody to the existing KCD series of orebodies.
