Gold has moved to the center of the market’s attention this year, with prices climbing to over $4,000 per ounce in October, a 144% jump since 2022, driven by geopolitical tensions and steady demand for a safe haven.
Against that backdrop, big producers like Barrick Mining Corporation (B) have ridden the upswing hard: Barrick’s share price is up over 140% year-to-date (YTD), supported by a solid balance sheet and strong North American assets that give investors confidence in its cash-generation profile.
