Barrick Mining says $1.95 billion Newmont deal clears path for North America IPO by end of year
Barrick reported higher Q2 profit as realized gold prices rose sharply, but margin pressure persisted from higher fuel, royalties and weaker grades, lifting sustaining costs. A $1.95B settlement with Newmont resolves Nevada Gold Mines disputes and secures consent for Barrick's planned North American gold assets IPO, potentially reshaping supply and ownership structure in a key U.S. gold complex. Near-term focus shifts to execution and cost discipline.
