Barrick Weighs IPO of North American Mining Unit, Retaining Control

A board-sanctioned review runs into early 2026, with a progress update slated for February results.

Overview

  • The proposed NewCo would hold Barrick’s interests in Nevada Gold Mines and the Pueblo Viejo joint venture plus the 100%‑owned Fourmile discovery.
  • Barrick says it would float only a small minority stake in the new entity and keep a controlling majority.
  • Management has board approval to evaluate the offering through early next year and will brief investors alongside full‑year 2025 results in February.
  • Goldman Sachs and Klein & Company are advising, according to a person familiar with the matter, and a New York listing is under consideration, the source said.
  • Analysts frame the potential IPO as a value‑unlocking move in a record gold price environment and say the structure could position the assets for possible consolidation with Newmont.
