Barrick named exclusive metals provider for medals of Toronto 2015 games
TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – The world’s biggest gold producer, Canada-based Barrick Gold on Monday announced that it had been named the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games’ official metal supplier.
The NYSE- and TSX-listed company would supply all the raw materials used to make the more than 4 000 gold, silver and bronze medals awarded at the games.
Just like the athletes coming to the games, the metal for their medals will come from the Pan American region, with the metals being sourced from Barrick mines throughout the Americas.
"With the 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games being held in our hometown of Toronto, we saw a rare opportunity to do something that symbolises our pride in our heritage and our commitment to our host countries. We look forward to welcoming the athletes and government representatives to Toronto next summer,” Barrick joint president Kelvin Dushnisky said.
The raw materials provided by Barrick would be melted down and struck by The Royal Canadian Mint, which was designing and producing the medals in collaboration with the Toronto 2015 organising committee.
Barrick has 14 operations in six Pan American countries, including Argentina, Canada, Chile, Dominican Republic, Peru and the US.
