Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>BARRICK\u2019S North Mara Gold Mine yesterday announced to have achieved its objective of bringing the operation\u2019s tailings storage facility\u2019s (TSF) pond back within its permitted design capacity by the end of this year.<\/p>\n

Speaking to different media houses\u2019 reporters in a meeting attended by village leaders from communities surrounding the mine, North Mara Goldmine (NMG) Manager, Apolinary Lyambiko further said Barrick made the commitment to the Tanzania government to work on the matter when it took over control of the mine from Acacia in September 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was at a time when the country\u2019s National Environment Management Council (NEMC) closed down the TSF, and then holding significantly more water than it should. He noted that the company\u2019s Chief Operating Officer for Africa and the Middle East, Willem Jacobs, described the achievement of the target as a huge milestone for North Mara and its team, adding, \u201cWe made a herculean effort to bring the badly neglected TSF into line with the international best practice as well as Barrick\u2019s own tailings management standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elaborating, the manager said Barrick spent over 65 million USD (approximately 150bn\/-) on the project, further increasing water treatment at the plant\u2019s capacity 16-fold from 2.5 million litres per day to 40 million litres per day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe addition of a brine treatment plant has reduced the volume of salts in the effluent water, enabling it to be stored safely. North Mara will continue to monitor the TSF\u2019s performance and will engage regularly with the relevant authorities to ensure that its high standards are maintained. This includes the analysis of drinking water wells and surface water sources surrounding the mine,\u201d pointed out Mr Lyambiko.<\/p>\n

Commenting Mr Jacob said: \u201cWhen we took over the old Acacia assets in Tanzania, we formed a partnership with the government to oversee these mines. The real benefits of this partnership included shift resumption of operations at North Mara and the revitalization of the moribund Bulyanhulu, now both valuable members of the Barrick portfolio.<\/p>\n

This latest development is further proof of our partnership philosophy\u2019s capacity to deliver real benefits and our commitment to caring for the welfare and environment of our host communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

On his part, Matongo Village Community Manager, DaudiItembe on behalf of Kerende, Matongo, Nyamongo, Nyamwaga, Genkuru, Kewanja, and Nyangotoas some of the communities surrounding the mine praised Barrick\u2019s efforts in addressing the TSF challenge, saying: \u201cAfter taking over from Acacia, our relations and co-existence has been cordial.\u201d \u201cPreviously in particular Matongo village, we had to bear with mine water discharges\u2026but currently the water can be used to grow vegetables and even animals drink it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Making the same comment, Komarere village leader, Nyamaganya Manga said, \u201cFor instance, Gena pit is located right in the middle of residential areas and its water discharge used to affect us, but now with Barrick taking over from Acacia, the same water is treated and we use it in our farms as well as in fish farms.\u201d<\/p>\n
