Barrick Mining Corporation (formerly Barrick Gold, rebranded and ticker-changed from GOLD to B on 9 May 2026) is one of the world’s largest gold and copper miners, founded by Peter Munk in 1983 and headquartered in Toronto. Mark Hill was appointed President and CEO on 4 February 2026, formalizing a leadership transition that began with his interim appointment in September 2025. The company is pursuing a planned IPO/spinout of its North American gold assets by late 2026 alongside continued development of the Lumwana copper expansion in Zambia.
Company Profile
Key Developments
Rebranded from Barrick Gold to Barrick Mining Corporation, ticker changed GOLD→B (9 May 2026); $3bn share buyback authorized May 2026 ($1.209bn repurchased in Q2 2026); planned North American Barrick IPO/spinout targeted by late 2026; Lumwana Super Pit expansion tracking on schedule
Key Risks
Stock down 17.6% year-to-date despite record gold prices and strong Q1 earnings — analysts attribute this to leadership-transition uncertainty and spinout execution risk rather than operational performance
