Canada’s Barrick Gold (TSX, NYSE:ABX) has agreed to pay $20 million to a Chilean group in order to settle an arbitration case against the company filed last year after the miner, the world’s No.1 gold producer by market value, halted payments settled in 2005.
The lawsuit, brought by the irrigation association of Chile's Huasco river, followed Barrick’s decision to stop paying $3 million a year to complete a $60 million-over-20-years agreed instalment, El Mercurio reported (<h1 dir="rtl" style="text-align:center"><strong><span style="color:#0000cc">:: الأعضاء المسجلين فقط هم من يمكنهم مشاهدة الروابط </span><a href="لايمكنك مشاهده الروابط الا بعد الرج" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0000cc">للتسجيل اضغط هنا</span></a><span style="color:#0000cc"> ::</span></strong></h1>

Arbitration case against the company was filed last year after the miner halted payments due to a local group.That fee was part of a legal obligation to compensate local communities affected by a project.

). Later that year, Barrick shelved the project citing massive cost overruns and nose-diving metal prices.
The company had said payments to the Huasco community were suspended as a result of the indefinite pause in the development of Pascua-Lama. The beneficiaries of those payments, as expected, disagreed.
A settlement was finally reached over the weekend, with Barrick agreeing to pay $6 million within 15 days of the singing of agreement. The company also committed to pay a further $ 14.1 million in nine annual instalments.
Should Barrick resume operations in the Pascua side of the project (the Chilean portion), the figure will go up to $14.8 million, payable in five annual instalments.
