(Reuters) - Canadian miner Barrick Gold Corp (TO:ABX) on Wednesday estimated its gold production in 2016 fell 9.8 percent to 5.52 million ounces.

The world's largest producer of bullion also estimated 2016 all-in sustaining costs was at or slightly below the low end of its forecast of $740-$775 per ounce of gold.
