Barrick

Barrick's Lumwana super pit copper expansion in Zambia continued advancing on time and on budget during Q1 2026, with initial mill building construction progressing. This expansion increases global copper supply capacity at a time when electrification and renewable energy drive unprecedented demand.

Militant attacks in Pakistan's Balochistan province are disrupting Barrick's Reko Diq project, a US-backed resources initiative. These security threats pose operational risks to critical mineral extraction in the region.

Barrick Gold warns of significant budget and timeline increases for the Reko Diq copper project in Pakistan's Balochistan province. This delay affects one of the world's largest undeveloped copper deposits, potentially tightening future copper supply for technology and infrastructure sectors.
