As a result, Barrick received a total of $50 million in cash in respect of the portfolio.

Barrick has the right to receive up to an additional $10 million from Maverix if certain conditions relating to the portfolio are satisfied within six years of closing.

Barrick Gold Corp. is one of the world’s largest gold producers, operating mines in North America, South America, Australia, and Africa.
