Following shareholder approval, Toronto-headquartered Barrick Gold has completed its name change to Barrick Mining Corporation and Société minière Barrick in French.
“Barrick’s vision is to be the world’s most valued gold and copper exploration, development and mining company. Along with our world-class portfolio of six Tier-1 gold mines, we are building a substantial copper business which will be a meaningful contributor to growing our production volumes in the coming years and beyond,” said Barrick President and CEO Mark Bristow.
“Barrick Mining Corporation and our new stock symbol, ‘B’, better reflect Barrick’s current business and our mission to achieve sustainable and profitable gold and copper growth. Gold remains core to our foundation and we will continue to explore for and develop new gold mines, including the expansion of Pueblo Viejo, the exciting Fourmile gold project in Nevada and exemplified by the Reko Diq project with its world class mix of both copper and gold.”
Barrick common shares commenced trading under the company’s new name on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) at the start of trading on May 9. Additionally, the ticker symbol for Barrick common shares listed on the NYSE changed from “GOLD” to “B.” Barrick common shares continue to trade under the “ABX” ticker symbol on the TSX.
