Canadian mining giant Barrick Gold Corporation has reached a pivotal settlement with Mali’s government, ending a two-year dispute over control of its Loulo-Gounkoto gold mining complex and removing a major political risk. This comes as gold prices trade at historic highs, significantly enhancing Barrick’s earnings outlook.
• 📜 Agreement reached after prolonged negotiations with Mali’s military government, providing regulatory certainty and operational clarity for Loulo-Gounkoto.
• 📈 Gold market strength: The resolution coincides with gold trading at record levels, acting as a dual catalyst for the company’s performance.
• 📊 Investor response: Barrick’s share price is finishing 2025 near all-time highs, supported by the gold rally and strategic clarity.
