Barrick Gold…is setting up a new corporate social responsibility advisory board….Jamie Kneen of Mining Watch Canada said Barrick has gone to some lengths to try and attract high-profile people with some history in various areas related to corporate social responsibility. "As with anything else I think the question is why they aren't putting the same effort into actually solving some of the outstanding issues at their operations," he said. "I guess the question in my mind is what an advisory committee is going to tell them that isn't already quite well known and documented...and where the solutions have also been proposed and they're actually just awaiting implementation." [Aaron] Regent [Barrick chief executive] acknowledged that Barrick will always face some criticism for not doing enough, but said the company is working to improve its operations.
