Barrick Mining CA0679011084

Barrick Gold Corporation is continuing a significant reshuffle of its executive leadership team. In a move announced today, current board member Helen Cai has been appointed to lead the company’s finance division, effective March 1, 2026. This change coincides with the miner’s advancement of a key copper project utilizing innovative technology.

The appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer occurs during a period of broader management transformation. This phase began with the unexpected departure of CEO Mark Bristow in September 2025, which was followed by the exit of several other senior executives, including the Senior Executive Vice President for strategic matters and the Chief Operating Officer for North America.
