Barrick Gold (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX) confirmed Monday it plans to change its name to Barrick Mining Corporation at its upcoming annual and special meeting of shareholders next week.
The company also intends to change its ticker symbol on the New York Stock Exchange from GOLD to B, effective at the start of trading on May 9, 2025. Barrick’s shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange will continue to trade under the ABX ticker.
