AI desk brief

Barrick reported Q3 2026 attributable gold production of 816,000 ounces, up 3% quarter-on-quarter but down 2% year-on-year; excluding divested assets, output rose 6% annually. Full-year gold guidance remained 2.90–3.25 million ounces, with AISC guidance unchanged at $1,760–$1,950/oz. Quarterly AISC rose 24% year-on-year to $1,911/oz, reflecting grade, royalty, diesel and sustaining-capital pressures, while realized gold prices increased 23% to $4,243/oz. Loulo-Gounkoto output rose 16% sequentially, and management expects access to North Mara's delayed high-grade material in Q4; the update primarily informs Barrick's operating outlook without establishing a directional near-term bullion effect.
