London—Canadian gold miner Barrick said late Sunday that it reached an agreement to sell its 50% percent interest in the Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines in Western Australia to Saracen Mineral Holdings for $750 million in cash. “The sale of our non-operating interest in KCGM (Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines) represents the first step in our plan to realize in excess of $1.5 billion from the disposal of non-core assets by the end of next year,” Barrick CEO Mark Bristow said in a statement.
