Barrick delays Pakistan mine due to regional conflict

Barrick Gold has postponed the development of its significant $9 billion copper and gold project in Pakistan. The decision stems from the escalating conflict in the Middle East, which has exacerbated existing security concerns in the region. This delay underscores the impact of geopolitical instability on major international resource projects, highlighting the risks associated with operating in volatile areas and the need for stable conditions to proceed with large-scale investments.
