Barrick management succeeded in reaching a comprehensive settlement of the dispute with the Government of Mali, resulting in the release of detained employees and the restoration of full operational control over the Loulo-Gounkoto mine on December 16, 2025. The company is currently working to reactivate the mine gradually and safely, as the three underground mines have been operated and stockpile processing operations have begun, with expectations to increase production gradually to reach historical operating rates by the end of 2026.
The Board of Directors decided not to renew the annual share buyback program after the company repurchased shares worth $1.5 billion in 2025, preferring to focus cash returns through the direct distribution mechanism.

The PV mine faces a challenge related to low gold recovery rates ranging between 75% and 76% compared to the previously expected rate in the feasibility study of 90%, due to the variation in chemical properties of 90 million tonnes of old weathered stockpiles.
