On Wednesday, Shares of Barrick Gold Corporation (USA) (NYSE:ABX), lost -0.20% to $7.38.
Barrick Gold Corporation, declared that a mechanical issue at the Pueblo Viejo mine in the Dominican Republic is predictable to result in reduced production at the operation until mid-January 2016. Pueblo Viejo is a joint venture owned by Barrick (60 percent) and Goldcorp Inc. (40 percent).
Two of three electric motors at the mines oxygen plant practiced an unpredictable failure on November 19 and have been shipped to a specialized facility in the United States for repair. One motor remains operational. The plant provides the oxygen required for the autoclave processing facility that treats Pueblo Viejos refractory ore. Until the damaged motors are repaired, the autoclave facility will operate at a reduced capacity. The cause of the motor failure is presently under investigation.

Current estimates indicate repairs can be accomplished with units back in service by mid-January.
