In company news, Barrick Mining (ABX.TO) provided an update regarding the planned initial public offering of a minority stake of a new company that will hold its North American gold assets, the company said Tuesday. In reaction, National Bank said its outperform rating remains based on Barrick's discounted valuation, future advancement of Fourmile and the upcoming value realization of its North American assets. "Advancing exploration at Fourmile represents a significant value driver for the company and given the previously announced resolution of Loulo-Gounkoto in Mali, supports a further re-rating. With a retooled focus on growing gold production in the Americas (centered around Nevada) and continued operational improvements, we see the potential for more sustainable multiple expansion going forward,"the bank added.
