Nov 26 (Reuters) - Canada's Barrick Gold ( GOLD ) said

on Tuesday the Ontario Superior Court has dismissed a case

against the miner brought by Tanzanian residents on security

incidents in the country, as the courts lacked jurisdiction to

consider the claims.

A group of 21 Tanzanian nationals had filed a lawsuit in

Canada in November 2022, alleging that Barrick was complicit in

extrajudicial killings by police guarding its North Mara mine.

Barrick owns a majority stake in North Mara Gold Mine

Limited, located in northwest Tanzania, since 2019.

The lawsuit claimed that the miner "had effective and

practical control" over Tanzanian police stationed at the mine.

Barrick said on Tuesday the case should not have been

brought in Canada.
