Barrick files prospectus for IPO of American Barrick Gold, proposing separation of North American operations into standalone entity ABGC
ABXAbacus Global Management, Inc.
Barrick Mining Corporation filed a Form 6-K incorporating Exhibit 99.2, a preliminary prospectus for the initial public offering (IPO) of American Barrick Gold Corporation. The filing details the proposed separation of Barrick's North American mining operations into a new standalone entity to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ABGC." American Barrick will hold controlling interests in the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture and the Pueblo Viejo mine, producing 2.0 million ounces of gold attributable to its interests in 2025. The company intends to use net proceeds from the offering to repay a promissory note issued to Barrick as a dividend prior to completion. This transaction marks a strategic restructuring to create a pure-play North American gold producer.
