North Mara gains 15 years

The renewal extends Barrick's operating rights at North Mara through 2041 and supports continued investment in the mine, its workforce and surrounding communities. The Government of Tanzania holds a 16.00 percent interest in the mine, while the partners split its economic benefits equally, according to Barrick Mining.

The company said it has injected USD 5.3 billion into Tanzania's economy since 2019, including USD 1.2 billion in 2025. The North Mara operation employs approximately 3,000 people in Tanzania, with Tanzanian nationals representing 96.00 percent of the workforce, the company said in the October 5 release.

Second-quarter output sets the tone

Barrick produced 796,000 ounces of gold in the second quarter of 2026, 11.00 percent above the first quarter and 3.00 percent above guidance. The company also produced 56,000 tonnes of copper, according to Yahoo Finance.

Second-quarter net earnings reached USD 1.20 billion, up 50.00 percent year over year, while adjusted earnings per share stood at USD 0.82 in line with Bloomberg consensus. Attributable adjusted EBITDA was USD 2.50 billion, up 51.00 percent year over year, although attributable free cash flow declined 33.00 percent because of tax, interest and a one-time payment related to Loulo-Gounkoto.

Tradegate quote stays near EUR 36

Barrick's market capitalization was USD 67.0 billion on October 6, 2026. Its primary exchange is the NYSE, where the company trades under symbol B, while the 52-week range was USD 30.35 to USD 54.69 on the same date.

The October 5 license renewal adds a long-dated operating right to a quarter in which production exceeded guidance, but the cash-flow decline shows why operating execution remains important. Barrick's investor-relations page identifies the NYSE listing and the Toronto Stock Exchange listing under symbols B and ABX, respectively, Barrick Mining states.
