Introduction

Built on the best assets, proven in any jurisdiction

Barrick is a company that develops and mines the best deposits, operated by the best people at the highest standards and delivers lasting benefits wherever we are.

Our strategy is simple: Focus on Tier One gold and copper assets that have the scale, grade and multi-decade mine life to create long-term value. We do not chase volume or short-term gains — we focus on quality, investing in world- class assets that stand the test of time.

This approach is why Nevada is the backbone of our business, producing nearly half our total output. It is one of the safest and most prolific mining jurisdictions in the world, setting the standard for operational excellence. But while Nevada is a cornerstone, our strategy does not stop at geography.

We execute the same disciplined approach wherever we operate. We invest in assets that justify our presence and we succeed because of our ability to build genuine partnerships, foster trust and earn our social license to operate. These are not add-ons to our strategy — they are central to it. Our presence in diverse jurisdictions reflects not only our operational capability but also our consistent track record of engaging meaningfully and delivering shared value.
 

Executing a Proven Strategy, Everywhere We Operate

We have a track record of making world-class assets work, regardless of jurisdiction. We succeed because we know how to operate responsibly, build trust and deliver value beyond the mine. Our strategy is resilient because it is built on more than risk management — it is built on relationships, local integration and long-term partnerships.

Our Focus Remains on:

Wherever we mine, our ability to integrate into the local context, respect communities and deliver benefits means we don’t just operate – we belong. Our strategy works and we have proven it time and again.
