In the town of Zambrana, just outside Cotuí, Dominican Republic, two brothers thank Barrick for their entrepreneurial success. Juan José and Alexis Torres were born and raised in Zambrana, a town bordering our Barrick Pueblo Viejo mine. They saw the mine’s need for contractors and seized the opportunity to provide them. By taking matters into their own hands, they knew they could ensure that economic benefits from mining projects were felt within their community. The brothers were no strangers to hard work, having owned businesses in the past in various hands-on fields. But by 2019, they were struggling to build capacity within their businesses. Now with the help of Barrick’s small business programs, Construc Zambrana has reached the next level. ✨Tip Top Training Construc Zambrana started by providing sediment controls to the mine, quickly expanding their services to assist with drilling, vegetation control and topographic works. As this work continued, the company was offered opportunities to grow their capabilities. Through our training programs, Construc Zambrana completed training in administration, safety, finances and human resources. These programs are designed to uplift local businesses while aligning them to Barrick’s overall sustainability strategy. The Torres brothers claim that safety training was one of the most impactful investments. When looking back on their safety management procedures prior to this training, they can easily identify near misses that would have been devastating to the safety of their workers. But now, they’re experts themselves. Currently, they’re working with a local energy company to provide their very own safety training services. With their newly developed skills in administration and financial planning, Construc Zambrana has finally created role separation and specialization. With roles dedicated to sourcing, accounting, and other administrative needs, they have the capacity to apply for other opportunities and receive contracts outside of Barrick. Through these programs, Construc Zambrana has far surpassed the profitability of their past businesses. While their last company employed 20 workers, Construc Zambrana now employs close to 270 workers. ✨Upskilling the Community The Torres brothers are grateful for the success of their business, but even more so for the impact it has on their community. Almost all their employees are from Zambrana. Through Barrick community coordinators, contractors in need of work are recorded and referred to Construc Zambrana. Of these recruits, the Torres brothers provide upskilling opportunities to candidates for continued career growth. They say that the increased availability of employment is truly felt by the locals. Not so long ago, Alexis Torres remembers locals protesting poor employment opportunities by burning their tyres on local roads. Now, Construc Zambrana works with the locals to provide job opportunities.

The need to guarantee the long-term viability of the Loulo-Gounkoto gold mining complex was of the utmost importance to ensure the Malian mining industry’s sustainability and maintain its substantial contribution to the country’s economy, Barrick president and chief executive Mark Bristow said here today speaking to local media and stakeholders.
