Operator history (post-MRDS)

MRDS records operators as of each record's last update (≤ 2019). Some of the operators listed here have since changed hands or dissolved:

  • Homestake Mining Co. (Can Earn 51% Up To 60%) — acquired by Subsidiary of Barrick Gold (2001)
    Operator of the historic Homestake Mine in South Dakota; acquired by Barrick Gold in 2001.
