On September 3, Barrick Mining Corporation rose 3.08% in regular trading, trading at 45.495 USD/share, with Turnover of $108 million. The stock gained as reports emerged that the company is considering delaying the initial public offering of its North American gold business until next year.
According to people familiar with the matter, the IPO for Barrick's North American gold assets was originally on track to be completed this year. The company had indicated during its August 10 earnings call that the process was \"very close.\" Barrick is currently working with Goldman Sachs to advance the IPO and is in discussions with additional banks to participate. Timing and other details remain subject to change.
The potential delay comes after several major shareholders — including Van Eck Associates, Mackenzie Financial, and Franklin Equity Group — expressed opposition to the spin-off plan, citing a lack of clarity and concerns about partially selling off Barrick's best assets. In August, the company resolved all outstanding disputes with Newmont over the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture via a $1.95 billion settlement, which had previously been viewed as clearing a key obstacle to the IPO.
