Nov 7 (Reuters) - Canada's Barrick Gold ( GOLD ) missed
Wall Street estimates for third-quarter profit on Thursday,
weighed down by lower production at its mines.
Barrick's third-quarter gold output missed estimates in
October, weighed by a fall in output at its Carlin and Cortez
mines in Nevada.
All-in sustaining costs (AISC) for gold, an industry
metric reflecting total expenses, rose to $1,507 per ounce in
the quarter, from $1,255 per ounce last year.
On an adjusted basis, the world's second-largest gold miner
posted a profit of 30 cents per share in the quarter ended Sept.
30, compared to an estimate of 31 cents per share, according to
data compiled by LSEG.
