an. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Tanzanian police shot dead an intruder at Barrick Gold Corp.s North Mara mine yesterday after a group of people broke into the mine site, the company said.
Production wasnt affected, company spokesman Teweli K. Teweli said in a phone interview today from the commercial capital of Dar es Salaam. Operations at the open-pit mine were suspended temporarily in December after hundreds of people invaded the area and fought with security personnel, leaving one person dead and $7 million in damage.
Barrick is the worlds largest gold producer.
