barrick. they xcollaborated on gain of function research where they enhance the sars virus affect human airway cells and put a in you spike of preteen on it. that is gain of function. that is joint research between the wuhan institute and dr. barrick. can you not deny it. >> senator, your time expired. we need to move on. okay. >> hello, everyone. we're going to jump out of that. you've been listening to the senate hearing with the covid-19 response team. let me just start off really quickly if we can bring in our doctor. doctor, i'm sorry, it is unclear i think to everyone who is watching what tangent just happened with rand paul and what he -- and dr. fauci. tell me what just transpired. this is a covid-19 pandemic. i likes to spar with dr. fauci at these senate hearings and always brings up a weird herd immunity and this kind of thing. the evidence that covid-19 originated from the wuhan lab is very weak. and my point is always been we don't have to -- we don't really have to postulate that

jordan: barrick gold -- guy: barrick gold beating earnings even the topline results were a little belowhe street's guidance. let's dig into the numbers. abby gil doolittle is here with the details -- abigail doolittle is here with the details. abigail: on the open, up about 1.7%, responding very well to a mainly solid quarter, then dipping slightly lower, now slightly higher. what investors are really honing in on, the missed sales slightly, but there was solid growth. gold on a year-over-year basis up about 2%. the real growth came from copper, up 159% on a year-over-year basis. but what you can see here, 80% of the overall revenue, copper just 11%. overall, solid growth for revenue. the other big story is, as you were mentioning, seven consecutive quarters of profit growth. right now, up 6.6%. investors really liking that. in this past quarter, they have managed it quite nicely. gold, 89% of their revenue profile. where's the big gainer? copper up 94% over the last year. alix: great set up. really appreciate it. joining us now is mark bristow, barrick gold president and ceo. it is alw

mosaic, is barrick ready to prove it from it >> yes, and i think just to put it in perspective.d is a precious metal and copper is the most strategic metal looking ahead. if you believe in esg, and i'm sure we all do, copper is a key component, whatever you look to, to the future, if you want t have clean energy, if you want to have clean vehicles, and so, we have 20% of our business is copper, and as you know, jim, i try to do a few things back in 2019, but that doesn't work out. but what we are doing is investing in our future not only hunting for the tier 1 gold bonds but looking on how we can upgrade the quality of our copper portfolio but today, with the copper process, it's a great contributor to our cash flow >> well, i'm looking at what you are thinking about doing, in terms of, you wrote our copper exposure in the most recent sdpek it seems like that you do have the ability to ramp, if you like to, past the 20% of your equivalent there is it possible to just really blow out copper, mark? can you just start producing more copper than you do right now? >> no, no, we can't

barrick? >> we do not fund -- >> do you fund dr. barrick's research? >> dr.ot do gain of function research. and if if it is, it's acarding -- according to the guidelines and done in north carolina, not china. >> you don't think that spike protein that it got from the wuhan institute into the sars virus is gain of function? you would be in a minority. at least 200 scientists signed a statement from the cambridge working group saying it is gain of function. >> well, it is not. if you look at the grant and you look at the progress reports, it is not gain of function despite the fact that people tweet that. >> do you support sending money to the wuhan virology institute? >> we do not send money now. >> do you support spending money? we did. we were sending it through eco health. it was subagency and subgrant. do you support the money from nih was going to the wuhan institute? >> let me explain to
