Jan. 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 wasn’t 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 world’s largest gold producer.
