July 28th, 2010 — Phoenix, Arizona
D.W. Barrick, President of Barrick Corporation, announced today that the company has become a member of Pacific Casino Group, a closely held privately owned company. Barrick is very excited about becoming a part of this prestigious assemblage. Although new in formation, the foundation of Pacific Casino Group represents some of the best in the field of gaming. With its purchase, Barrick has reunited with some business partners from the past that date back as far as almost 30 years. In addition to being able to work again with friends of old as well as new partners, Barrick recognizes that the holders of ownership in Pacific Casino Group are a proven commodity of success.
Currently, Pacific Casino Group is pursuing the purchase of a major casino. This undertaking has been evolving for several months and may become final before the end of 2010. Barrick anticipates becoming a part of the day-to-day operations of the new purchase, along with its role in ownership.
