On August 10, Barrick Mining Corporation fell 5.61% in regular trading, trading at $41.24/share, with turnover of $63.22 million. The decline was triggered by the company's Q2 earnings miss and ongoing investor opposition to its proposed North American asset spinoff.

Barrick reported Q2 adjusted earnings of $0.82 per share, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $0.88 by approximately 6.8%. Revenue came in at $5.292 billion, up 44% year-over-year and slightly above the $5.266 billion estimate. Net income rose 50% year-over-year to $1.217 billion, with adjusted EBITDA margins reaching 60%, yet the EPS shortfall weighed heavily on sentiment.

Simultaneously, Chairman John Thornton's plan to spin off North American mines via an IPO faced opposition from major shareholders including Van Eck Associates, Mackenzie Financial, and Franklin Equity Group, who cited lack of clarity and concerns about selling the company's best assets. Barrick also announced a $1.95 billion settlement with Newmont, resolving all outstanding disputes and securing consent for the proposed IPO, though short-term sentiment remained weak.
