Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:ABX) (TSX:ABX) (Barrick or the
“Company”) today announced the nomination of María Ignacia Benítez
for election as a new independent director at the Company’s 2018
Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Ms. Benítez is an environmental expert with a
deep understanding of Latin American political, regulatory, and
legal systems. She was an advisor to Chile’s Senate Environment
Commission before serving as the country’s Minister of the
Environment from 2010 to 2014. Ms. Benítez will be the Company’s
first director with primary expertise in environmental management,
and will provide invaluable knowledge from a region where Barrick
has significant long-term interests, including operations and
projects in Argentina, Chile, Dominican Republic, and
Peru. Her election will complement the 2016 appointment of our
first director from Argentina, further enhancing the Company’s
oversight and risk management capabilities in the region.
From 1992 to 2009, Ms. Benítez worked in the
private sector as Senior Head of Projects at Gestión Ambiental
Consultores, one of Chile’s leading environmental
consultancies. In 2012, she received the Female Leader Award
from a leading Chilean newspaper, and in 2014, she was honored by
the Institute of Engineers of Chile for her career as a civil
engineer in the public and private sector. Ms. Benítez holds a
degree in Chemical Engineering from the Universidad de
Chile.
Additional details regarding Ms. Benítez and
Barrick’s other director nominees will be provided in the Company’s
