Barrick Mining Corporation (B · NYSE) is one of the largest global leaders in the gold and copper mining sector, managing a massive and geographically diversified portfolio of operating assets that includes key mines in North America (such as Nevada Gold Mines), Africa, South America, and the Asia-Pacific region. The company's business model relies on extracting, processing, and selling precious metals, leveraging the high operating leverage of global metal prices to maximize its free cash flows and reinvest them in organic growth projects and dividend distributions.
During fiscal year 2025, the company achieved record and historic financial results, benefiting from the significant increase in gold prices, as total annual revenues reached $17.0 billion compared to $12.9 billion in 2024, and recorded a gross profit of $8.7 billion and a net income of $7.2 billion with earnings per share of $2.93. In the second quarter of 2025 alone, the company recorded revenues of $3.7 billion and a net income of $1.3 billion with earnings per share of $0.47, reflecting solid operating performance and continuous improvement in the company's gross profit margins across its various operating segments.
According to analyst consensus, Barrick Mining Corporation is currently classified as a Buy, with an average analyst price target of $55.25, a high target of $63, and a low target of $41. Compared to the stock's 52-week trading range between $20.35 and $54.69, the stock is currently trading below the average analyst price target, indicating a promising opportunity for growth in the company's $71.6 billion market capitalization, supported by record financial performance and strong cash flows.

The Barrick board of directors decided to proceed with preparations for an initial public offering of a minority stake ranging from 10% to 15% of its gold assets in North America. This strategic move aims to highlight the untapped true value of major assets such as Nevada Gold Mines and Fourmile and revalue the stock as a whole. The company targets completing this IPO by the fourth quarter of 2026, with full commitment to all contracts and agreements signed with partners such as Newmont.
Barrick successfully settled the ongoing dispute in Mali, secured the release of previously detained employees, and restored full operational control over the Loulo-Gounkoto mine on December 16, 2025. The company immediately began feeding the mill from low-grade stockpiles and operating the three underground mines, aiming to return to historical production rates by the end of 2026. The company expects its attributable production from this mine to range between 260,000 and 290,000 ounces of gold during 2026, making it the largest contributor to production growth.
The Barrick board of directors adopted a new dividend policy focused entirely on maximizing direct cash returns to shareholders by targeting a payout of 50% of attributable free cash flows. Accordingly, the base quarterly dividend was increased by 40% to reach $0.175 per share, in addition to approving total fourth-quarter distributions of $0.42 per share to be paid in March 2026. In contrast, the board decided not to renew the annual share buyback program to focus entirely on these direct cash distributions after repurchasing $1.5 billion worth of shares in 2025.

The Pueblo Viejo mine faces a challenge with gold recovery rates currently dropping to between 75% and 76%, which is lower than the 90% specified in the initial feasibility study. This is primarily due to metallurgical heterogeneity in the 90 million tonnes of weathered ore stockpiles. The company is currently working with Hatch on ore blending projects to gradually raise the recovery rate to 84%, noting that the upcoming update to the Technical Report 43-101 at the end of February will extend the mine life to 2048 to maintain the total ounces produced.
Barrick expects its gold production for 2026 to range between 2.9 million and 3.25 million ounces, which is roughly equivalent to 3 million ounces on a like-for-like basis after excluding the Tongon and Hemlo mines, which were sold at the end of 2025. For copper production, guidance targets production ranging between 190,000 and 220,000 tonnes in 2026, compared to production of 220,000 tonnes in 2025. Management expects gold production to be weighted 45% in the first half of the year and 55% in the second half, driven by increased production at Loulo-Gounkoto and Goldrush.
