"They draw up the necessary documents
and begin to search for the simpleton..."

Barrick Gold has an overrun of US $ 8 billion on The Plant  "PASCUA-LAMA" (Chile)  that they have not been able to build for 20 years? ? It's true?
Barrick Gold plant "PASCUA-LAMA" in Chile has not produced a single ounce of gold or silver for 20 years.


Mark Bristow, CEO said:  "Barrick Gold owes:

• US $ 443 million to the Treasury of Chile, plus $ 340 million in interest.
• US $ 253 million to the Wheaton Precious Metals Corp (amount as of December 31, 2018)

All these obligations are added to the amount Barrick actually disbursed in a project "PASCUA-LAMA" that in its beginnings, almost 20 years ago, cost about US $ 950 million, but which ended with an overrun of over US $ 8 billion."

 Where was the money spent?

 IMHO, The copper and gold content of the ore is very low. It is lower than the outboard content on some mine.
