12:06 PM EDT, 03/26/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Barrick Mining ( B ) (ABX.TO, B) is extending its review of the Reko Diq copper-gold project in Pakistan amid security concerns, Reuters reported on Thursday.

The company said the delay comes amid security concerns both in Pakistan and the Middle East and is likely to raise costs for development of one of the world's largest copper and gold deposits, the news agency said.

Barrick will extend its review by 12 months from July, while development work at the site will be slowed.
