Does anyone remember the actress Goldie Hawn? She was in some movie called Private Benjamin. The movie sucked, but the first name always resonated. Now recently, the gold story has been off the charts and prices for this precious metal have gone up like crazy. But the gold doesn’t just appear out of nowhere, you have to go find it.
Today I bought stock in Barrick Mining (ticker B) at $52.09. I will sell it in 4 to 6 weeks at $60.17. Here’s why I like Barrick Mining.
Now then, several catalysts suggest a powerful "catch-up" trade is imminent. This company has both Fundamental Undervaluation & Earnings Momentum. Multiple ANAL-ysts and investors highlight that Barrick is "severely undervalued" relative to its Tier One asset portfolio. Q4 Results Catalyst: Barrick is scheduled to release its full-year 2025 results on February 5th or 6th. Management has guided that Q4 2025 will be the strongest quarter of the year, providing a concrete fundamental trigger for a price re-rating. On top of that, the price of gold just keeps on soaring, so this can be nothing but great news for Barrick’s earnings. Hint: Barrick has beaten ANAL-yst consensus in 5 of the last 6 quarters.
Barrick’s growth is anchored by high-grade, long-life projects that the market has yet to fully price in. Leading the charge are two big ones:
Fourmile Discovery: This 100%-owned Nevada asset is described as a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity. With grades of 14–16 grams per ton, it is expected to have a payback period of less than a year.
Reko Diq (Pakistan): This massive copper-gold project is ahead of its construction schedule. It is projected to become the world’s 4th largest copper producer while contributing 500,000 ounces of gold annually.
The company recently resolved the dispute regarding the Loulo-Gounkoto mine in Mali via a ten-year deal with the Malian government. This secures an asset that produces over 700,000 ounces of gold per annum, removing a significant risk premium that had suppressed the share price.
The biggest tailwinds are the aforementioned gold and copper prices themselves. Investors anticipate a "commodity supercycle" where both gold and copper prices remain elevated due to global unrest and supply shortages. With gold futures prices have greatly outperformed Barrick’s stock price, which means that the Barrick stock price has a lot of catching up to do. Historically, large-cap producers like Barrick often lag initially and then move sharply once capital rotates from bullion into miners.Talk about a tailwind. When the world gets nervous, they buy gold. When they buy gold, they buy Barrick.
We aren't just talking about "digging holes in the ground." We are talking about a $85 billion powerhouse that is finally hitting its stride in a world that’s increasingly looking like a chaotic game of Risk. The stock is currently bumping against its 52-week highs, but unlike the tech fluff of 2024, this rally is backed by cold, hard cash flow and a balance sheet that is about as rock solid as gold itself.
The stock is up 160% in the last 12 months but its PE is only 25. Barrick isn't just a gold play anymore. They are a copper beast. With the 2026 energy transition in full swing, their copper assets are becoming the "new gold." Do you know Tesla charging stations are always vandalized? People are stealing copper like crazy. Barrick produces between 180 and 210 million tonnes of copper annually. Barrick’s own projections showing 150% copper production growth over the next several years, precisely as global supply tightens and demand accelerates. You’re getting a precious metals hedge and an energy infrastructure play in one single ticker.
The Financials Don't Lie:
The Short Squeeze: As the "Gold is Dead" bears cover their positions, we hit the $59 target. The trend is your friend, and the trend is wearing a 24-karat gold watch. This is not a company scrambling — it’s a company positioned. Remember, stocks don’t rip from chaos. They rip from boredom. Cows walk to food.
Once Barrick clears resistance and holds it, momentum traders pile in. That’s when price stops asking for permission. Gold has strong momentum with positive tailwinds backing momentum trades. Large central banks such as China’s, India’s and Russia’s are snapping up gold as the trend to de-dollarization continues. Uncertainties from tariffs and geopolitical turbulence in Ukraine, Taiwan and now Venezuela, support the continued demand for precious metals
Highlights from the last quarter:
Delivering record adjusted net earnings, operating and free cash flow
I am HUGE!

The Financials Don't Lie:
- Net Profit Margin: A staggering 24.5%. They are keeping nearly a quarter of every dollar they bring in.
- Debt-to-Equity: A measly 0.19. While other miners are drowning in interest rates, Barrick is printing money and raising dividends.
- The Helen Cai Factor: The recent appointment of Helen Cai as CFO (effective this month) signals a fresh, aggressive focus on capital allocation and potentially spinning off North American assets. Markets love a good spin-off story. That could be easy money with some clever financial engineering to boost the Barrick stock price. A spin could provide 10–20% valuation upside quickly, aligning well with a move toward $61.
