Since Arrangement 1 is the most expensive, it has been selected as the basis for the closure cost
estimate. Therefore, it is calculated that complete clean closure of the proposed TSF will be
approximately $10,958,764. The CostPro data set for this arrangement is included in Appendix
15-A.
15.2.4 Updates to Closure Cost Estimate
The closure cost estimate will be updated with each RCRA permit renewal application for the
proposed TSF. The estimate will be revised to reflect current economic conditions at the time of
renewal.
15.3 Financial Assurance – 40 CFR 270.14(b)(15) & 264.143
It is anticipated that PMR will provide a corporate guarantee from Barrick Gold Corporation for
closure of the proposed TSF. The guarantee will be in place prior to commissioning the
proposed TSF.
