Barrick Mining slows Pakistan project on security risks

Barrick Mining Corporation is delaying a major copper and gold project in Pakistan due to the Middle East conflict and a worsening security situation. According to a report from the Financial Times, the company has informed its local partners that development will be slowed for a 12-month period starting in July.

The decision follows a comprehensive review of the project's delivery strategy in light of regional instability. The mining company noted that the current environment requires a reassessment of potential impacts on operations.
