Barrick's Big Pakistan Copper-Gold Project Faces Possible Jump in Cost, Timeline -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-06

0737 ET - Barrick Mining warns of a possible jump in the cost and in timeline to develop its massive copper-gold project in Pakistan. The Canadian miner says it is slowing development activity at the Reko Diq project and continuing a review until mid-2027 following preliminary findings and an escalation of security issues in the country and region. Barrick had estimated the first phase of development would cost between $5.6 billion and $6 billion, and phase two between $3.3 billion and $3.6 billion, with first production targeted by the end of 2028. Barrick says it continues to believe in the long-term value of Reko Diq, which it estimates is one of the world's largest undeveloped copper and gold projects. (robb.stewart@wsj.com)
