Context and risks
Geopolitical exposure in Mali, where Barrick operates the Loulo-Gounkoto complex; the recent union agreement mitigates labor risk, but political instability and regulatory risk persist. Higher crude oil prices increase energy and transport costs in its mining operations, though its 51.34% operating margin partially absorbs this.
