Barrick Gold Corporation

Barrick Gold Corporation is a leading mining company that produces gold and copper with operations in 16 sites across 13 countries worldwide. The company is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and has a portfolio that encompasses some of the most prolific gold and copper districts globally.

Founded in 1983 by Peter Munk, Barrick has a rich history of growth and development, evolving from a North American oil and gas company into a major force in gold and copper mining. Barrick reached its peak as the world's largest gold mining company until 2019 when it was surpassed by Newmont Corporation. Despite this, Barrick continues to invest in mining technology and exploration, ensuring its future remains bright, with expectations to produce between 3.9 and 4.3 million ounces of gold and 180 to 210 million pounds of copper in 2024. Through strategic mergers and acquisitions, Barrick has built a robust foundation, and it remains committed to the communities in which it operates, fostering economic development and engaging in corporate social responsibility initiatives.
