On August 20, Barrick Mining Corporation rose 3.17% in regular trading, trading at $46.54/share, with turnover of $252 million, extending the multi-day rally fueled by gold prices surpassing $4,425 and JPMorgan raising its target price to $52.

On the news front, JPMorgan recently lifted its target price on Barrick to $52, implying approximately 12% upside from current levels. The Bank of Korea's first gold ETF purchase in 13 years — acquiring approximately $250 million in SPDR Gold Trust shares — further reinforced the global central bank gold-buying narrative. Deutsche Bank noted gold remains in an \"explosive\" rally phase, targeting $4,700-$5,100 year-end.

At the company level, Barrick reported Q2 revenue of $5.29 billion, up 44% year-over-year, with net income rising 50%. The $1.95 billion settlement with Newmont resolved all Nevada Gold Mines disputes, clearing the path for Barrick's planned North American gold assets IPO, which management described as \"very close.\" The broader gold sector traded higher, with Anglogold Ashanti up 5.02%, Newmont Mining up 2.78%, and Wheaton Precious Metals up 2.09%.
