On August 5, Barrick Mining Corporation rose 5.37% in regular trading, trading at $39.96/share, with turnover of $55.91 million.

On the news front, the company is scheduled to release its Q2 results before markets open on August 10. Market consensus estimates project revenue of $5.226 billion, up 42.29% year-over-year, and adjusted EPS of $0.88, representing a 91.86% year-over-year increase. Gold and copper price co-movement is expected to deliver significant earnings elasticity.

Additionally, severe winter storms in Chile forced Barrick to evacuate workers at its Barriales camp and caused multiple copper mines to suspend operations for weeks, further tightening global copper supply and providing price support for the company's copper business. BofA Securities and UBS both maintain Buy ratings on the stock, with mean analyst price target at $56.
