On August 19, Barrick Mining Corporation rose 3.14% in pre-market trading, trading at $43.45/share, with turnover of $3.33 million.

On the news front, spot gold surged past $4,425/oz, while JPMorgan recently raised its target price on Barrick to $52, implying approximately 21% upside from current levels. The Korean central bank's first gold ETF purchase in 13 years further reinforced the global central bank gold-buying narrative. Deutsche Bank characterized the current gold rally as an ongoing fifth explosive phase, setting a year-end target range of $4,700-$5,100/oz driven by expanding U.S. government debt and renewed ETF inflows.

At the company level, Barrick reported Q2 revenue of $5.292 billion, up 44% year-over-year, with net income rising 50%. The company reached a $1.95 billion settlement with Newmont resolving all Nevada Gold Mines disputes, clearing the path for its North American gold assets IPO, which management described as very close. Within the Gold sector, Newmont Mining rose 3.95%, Pan American Silver gained 4.08%, and Wheaton Precious Metals added 3.81%.
