Who Mined The Gold In Canada?
Several major mining companies are actively producing gold from Canada, including Placer Dome, Barrick and TVX Newmont Americas (TVXNA). Other major producers are Miramar Mining, Kinross Gold, Newmont and Cambior. Gold is also produced as a by product from most of the base metal mines in Canada. The merger between Barrick and Homestake produced one of the world’s largest gold mining companies.
