Yep Russ you are right, the article doesn't go into those details and I don't know the company well enough to say either.
I just thought it's a bit of positive to post about, Barrick is the worlds largest gold producer based out of Canada. They operate in Nevada and it's in their interest to spend over $110k monthly to protect those interests.
Like I said....just a bit of positive or "miners making it happen"
