announced that it had placed the mine on care and maintenance. In February 2021, Barrick reached an agreement to sell its 100% interest in the Lagunas Norte to Boroo Pte Ltd ("Boroo") for a total consideration of up to $81 million, plus the assumption by Boroo of Barrick’s closure liability relating to Lagunas Norte of $226 million backed by an existing $173 million bonding obligation. On 1 June 2021, the sale was completed and Boroo says Lagunas Norte represents a transformative opportunity as its goal is to become a mid-tier producer in the near term. Boroo plans to initiate the next phase of the project to recover carbonaceous oxide ore and also has longer term plans to mine the high sulphur refractory ore below the oxide zone.
