Barrick Gold Corp. chief executive officer Mark Bristow is raising the possibility that he may retire in 2026. Mr. Bristow took over as CEO in 2019 after Toronto-based Barrick acquired Randgold Resources Ltd., the Africa-focused mining company he founded and ran for about two decades.
Hard-nosed, detail-oriented and outspoken, the South African is one of the most driven executives in the mining industry. At Barrick, he has stickhandled multiple difficult situations, including patching up multiyear mining contract spats with the governments of Tanzania and Papua New Guinea.
He orchestrated a joint-venture agreement in Nevada with arch-competitor Newmont Corp., something his predecessors had tried and failed to do on several occasions. Most recently, he rolled out a management restructuring at the company’s Nevada operations.
