BARRICK MINING CORP intensified Ebola screening at its Kibali mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo after an outbreak killed 131 people. The preventative measures follow a virus detection in the neighboring Ituri province that began in late April. Mining operations in the region face heightened disruption risks due to the high mobility of workers across provincial borders.
