Based in Toronto, Barrick Gold is one of the world's largest gold miners. In 2023, the firm produced nearly 4.1 million attributable ounces of gold and about 420 million pounds of copper. At year-end 2023, Barrick had about two decades of gold reserves along with significant copper reserves. After buying Randgold in 2019 and combining its Nevada mines in a joint venture with competitor Newmont later that year, it operates mines in 19 countries in the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The company also has growing copper exposure. Its potential Reko Diq project in Pakistan, if developed, could double copper production by the end of the decade.

Renowned economist Peter Schiff advised investors to buy gold dips amid concerns over potential inflation following Donald Trump&#8216;s presidential election victory over Kamala Harris.
What Happened: &#8220;The best Trump trade now is buying the dip in gold and gold mining stocks,&#8221; Schiff posted on X. &#8220;Cutting taxes is easy. We know from experience that substantive spending cuts are impossible. Even Reagan couldn&#8217;t do it, despite making greater promises to do so. Trump will make inflation great again.&#8221;
Trump secured 277 electoral votes and 51% of the popular vote against Harris, according to Associated Press figures. 
Major gold mining stocks, including Barrick Gold (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>), Newmont (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>), and Royal Gold (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGLD#NASDAQ">RGLD</a>), declined over 2% on Wednesday, while gold spot prices traded at $2,656, down 0.09%.

UBS Downgrades Barrick Gold to Neutral, Lowers Price Target to $22

Mali's military government has warned that it may let Barrick Gold Corp's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>) Loulo mine concession expire in 2026, citing unresolved disputes over the division's economic benefits from the country's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mining" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-largest mine</a>.
Following allegations that Barrick failed to honor terms of the September agreement, in an October 18 letter to Barrick CEO Mark Bristow, as seen by Bloomberg, Finance Minister Alousseni Sanou stated that Mali "reserves the right not to renew the operating permit" and called for discussions on the mine's "transition phase" later this month.
Barrick and Mali's government declined Bloomberg's<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-25/mali-threatens-to-let-barrick-mine-permit-lapse-over-dispute" rel="noreferrer noopener"> request</a> for further comment on the dispute.
Barrick, which operates the Loulo mine as part of the larger Loulo-Gounkoto complex, countered by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.barrick.com/English/news/news-details/2024/barrick-responds-to-mali-government-claims-of-breaching-its-commitments/default.aspx" rel="noreferrer noopener">stating</a> that it does not "accept any claims of wrongdoing."
The government demanded $512 million in back taxes and dividends, of which Barrick has paid $85 million, in the context of ongoing negotiations.
Following a 2020 military coup, Mali experienced a disruption in foreign aid and regional funding. The governing military junta <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39732127/barrick-gold-navigates-new-mining-code-political-changes-to-secure-mali-operations" rel="noreferrer noopener">updated the mining code</a>, raising the state's potential stake in mining projects to 35% from 20%, shortening mining licenses to 10 years, and encouraging more Malian nationals in senior roles at foreign companies.
Barrick, which has operated in Mali for 30 years, asserts that it aims to continue negotiations with the government to reach a fair settlement on profit-sharing and other aspects of their partnership.
So far, the government has rejected their proposal to divide the economic benefit from the complex at 55-45 in the country's favor.
Meanwhile, the domestic political climate remained turbulent through 2024, with heightened instability in northern regions due to conflict involving various rebel groups, al-Qaeda-linked factions, and foreign mercenaries.
Though these conflicts have yet to affect the Loulo-Gounkoto complex due to its location near Senegal's border, Barrick CEO Mark Bristow has made multiple trips to the country to address the rising tensions and ensure stable operations.
Loulo-Gounkoto is one of the top tier 1 gold mines globally. It is critical to Barrick's portfolio and is projected to be its largest gold-producing site in 2024, reaching 510,000 to 560,000 ounces at a cost of $1,150 to $1,250 per ounce.

Shares of precious metals stocks are trading higher as gold and silver rise amid macro uncertainty, which has been attributed to Middle East conflict and the upcoming US presidential election.

After a hurricane-related postponement, President Joe Biden will visit Angola in December, marking his first and last trip to the African continent in the final week of his tenure. Angola, a country with a complex history tied to the United States and its Cold War adversaries, is now at the forefront of new opportunities for collaboration, particularly in infrastructure development and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/metals">critical mineral supply chains</a>.
A Shifting Foreign Policy
During the Cold War, Angola was a hotspot for proxy battles between the Soviet Union and the United States. Angola&#8217;s civil war, which raged from 1975 to 2002, saw the Soviet Union, Cuba, and China support the ruling MPLA (People&#8217;s Movement for the Liberation of Angola), while the U.S. backed anti-communist rebel groups. Despite being on opposite sides, U.S. oil companies continued operating in Angola, exporting oil to Europe while geopolitical tensions persisted.
Since the end of the civil war, Angola has maintained a relatively stable government under the MPLA, and the U.S. established formal diplomatic relations in 1993. Over the years, the relationship between the two countries has grown, although Angola's primary economic ties have shifted towards China and Russia.
However, following Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine, Angola&#8217;s abstention from the United Nations vote and subsequent vote against Russia signaled a more independent foreign policy—one that could align with Western interests and counterbalance China&#8217;s and Russia&#8217;s influence on the continent.

The Lobito Corridor
Lobito Corridor is a critical infrastructure project and likely the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/02/37074505/african-rail-projects-become-battleground-for-us-china-competition-in-strategic-mineral-suppl">focal point of Biden's visit</a>. This corridor, which includes the Benguela Railway, connects Angola's Lobito port to the mineral-rich regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia. By upgrading this route, the U.S. sees an opportunity to facilitate the export of critical minerals, especially copper and cobalt, essential for the global electric vehicle (EV) transition and renewable energy technologies.
Furthermore, Canadian Ivanhoe Mines (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVAPF#OTCQX">IVAPF</a>) was granted a license to explore for copper in Angola just a year ago, showing the growing Western interest in this country rich in manganese, uranium, zinc, wolfram, and, particularly, diamonds.
The Rich Neighborhood
The Lobito Corridor also benefits neighboring Zambia, which boasts 94 active mining projects, including KoBold Metals' <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36940360/kobold-metals-announces-historic-copper-discovery-in-zambia">largest copper discovery</a> in the country's history. Copper is a critical resource for electronics, renewable energy, and EV batteries, and Zambians know it. They plan to raise their medium-term copper production to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/04/38115830/zambia-mining-boom-the-road-to-1-million-tons-of-copper">one million tons per year</a>.
Historically, Zambia has faced infrastructure bottlenecks that have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/03/37466646/zambia-plans-to-increase-copper-production-but-faces-3-problems">constrained its mining potential</a>. By leveraging the Lobito Corridor, Zambia could significantly boost its copper exports to global markets, especially as U.S. allies such as Saudi Arabia have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41399210/saudi-arabia-targeting-billions-in-zambian-assets-despite-persistent-infrastructure-troubles">recently invested in Zambian copper assets</a>, including First Quantum's (OTCPK: FQVLF) Kansanshi and Sentinel copper mines. Additionally, Barrick Gold's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>) Lumwana copper mine in Zambia is one of the country's major copper producers, further highlighting the potential economic boost the Lobito Corridor could provide.
Countering China's Influence
For Angola, which is heavily indebted to China, this infrastructure project represents an opportunity to diversify its economic partnerships. China is Angola&#8217;s largest trading partner, primarily driven by oil exports. Yet, U.S. investments in projects like the Lobito Corridor could shift the country's economic focus toward the West, reducing its dependence on Chinese loans and infrastructure development.
President Biden's visit, therefore, comes at a crucial time. His trip opens a path to critical African commodities, countering China's Belt and Road initiative by providing a faster, more efficient route to Europe and the U.S., bypassing the Indian Ocean, and strengthening trade ties with Western markets.

Shares of precious metals stocks are trading higher amid a rise in the price of gold and silver.

Manara Minerals, a joint venture between Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Ma'aden (Saudi Arabian Mining Co), is nearing a deal to purchase a 15% to 20% stake in First Quantum Minerals (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FQVLF#OTC">FQVLF</a>) Zambian copper and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nickel" rel="noreferrer noopener">nickel assets</a>.
The potential transaction, which Reuters <a target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/saudis-manara-advanced-talks-buy-stake-first-quantums-zambian-mines-2024-10-16/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> citing information from trusted sources, is valued between $1.5 billion and $2 billion. It includes First Quantum's Kansanshi and Sentinel copper mines and the Enterprise nickel mine.
This deal aligns with Manara's recent investments, including a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41311099/terrorism-in-pakistan-threatens-foreign-mine-development-saudi-arabia-still-invests-billions" rel="noreferrer noopener">$1 billion commitment </a>to Barrick Gold's Reko Diq project in Pakistan and a $2.5 billion investment in Brazilian mining giant Vale.
The sale of its Zambian assets would help the company manage its debt while retaining control over its key operations.
In December 2023, after the Panama government <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/23/12/36259547/copper-shortage-first-quantums-cobre-panama-mine-shuts-down-threatening-supply-balance" rel="noreferrer noopener">ordered the shutdown</a> of its flagship Cobre Panama mine, First Quantum lost significant revenue, pushing the company to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/03/37483591/first-quantum-exploring-zambian-asset-sales" rel="noreferrer noopener">explore capital restructuring</a>, including selling assets and issuing a $1 billion share offering.
Zambia, a major player in global copper production, holds vast potential for mining investors, as this metal is critical to the green energy transition. This year, B, a startup backed by billionaires including Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, announced the discovery of one of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36940360/kobold-metals-announces-historic-copper-discovery-in-zambia" rel="noreferrer noopener">largest copper deposits</a> in Zambia's history at the Mingomba site. However, the country's mining sector faces significant challenges, particularly in terms of infrastructure.
Road and rail networks are underdeveloped, limiting material transport, and the country has faced ongoing issues with power supply.
Zambia relies on hydropower for 80% of its electricity, but droughts and fluctuating rainfall have caused frequent shortages.
For companies like First Quantum, ensuring consistent energy for operations has become a key concern. Emergency measures such as importing electricity from South Africa's Eskom have been implemented to mitigate the impact.
Power outages disrupt operations and make mining investments less attractive to foreign investors. The mining industry generates as much as 70% of exports while using about half of the national power demand, making the country's plan to boost the copper output to 1 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/04/38115830/zambia-mining-boom-the-road-to-1-million-tons-of-copper" rel="noreferrer noopener">million tons by 2026</a> ambitious.

Barrick Gold's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

Barrick Gold Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>) shares are trading lower on Wednesday. The company reported preliminary<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/g41353276/barrick-reports-q3-preliminary-production-results-with-continued-improvement-at-pueblo-viejo" rel="noreferrer noopener"> third-quarter production metrics</a>.
The company sees production of 943,000 ounces of gold and 48,000 tonnes of copper and preliminary sales of 967,000 ounces of gold and 42,000 tonnes of copper.
Barrick anticipates a significantly stronger fourth quarter, aiming to meet its full-year production guidance for both gold and copper in 2024.
Notably, in the third quarter, the average market price for gold was $2,474 per ounce, while copper averaged $4.18 per pound.
The company said that preliminary gold production remained steady on a Q/Q basis.
Pueblo Viejo sequentially improved by 23% due to ongoing plant optimization, while North Mara benefited from higher grades.
On a Q/Q basis, the third quarter gold cost of sales per ounce is expected to increase by 1% to 3%, total cash costs by 3% to 5%, and all-in-sustaining costs by 0% to 2%, partly due to higher royalties from increased gold prices.
Meanwhile, preliminary copper production increased Q/Q, mainly due to higher grades and recoveries at Lumwana, which benefited from improved ore access following ramped-up stripping activities in the second quarter.
On a Q/Q basis, the third quarter cost of sales per pound is expected&nbsp;to rise by 5% to 7% and C1 cash costs by 13% to 15%.
However, all-in-sustaining costs per pound are expected to decrease by 2% to 4%, primarily due to reduced capitalized waste stripping at Lumwana.
Barrick is scheduled to release its third quarter results before the market <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">opens on November 7, 2024</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Sprott Gold Miners ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SGDM#NYSE">SGDM</a>) and&nbsp;VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>).
Price Action: GOLD shares are down 0.47% at $20.12 at the last check Wednesday.
