Barrick Gold Corporation is one of the world's largest gold producers, operating mines across North America, South America, Australia, and Africa. The company's extensive portfolio includes premium gold properties with significant growth potential over the next two decades.

In a recent legal development, Barrick Gold (Holdings) Limited was ordered to pay $2 million to Hannam & Partners. The dispute arose from the 2019 merger between Barrick Gold and Randgold, where Hannam & Partners played a crucial role in facilitating the deal. Despite the absence of a formal engagement letter, the court ruled in favor of Hannam & Partners based on a quantum meruit claim, recognizing the valuable services provided by the advisory firm.

This legal outcome underscores the importance of clear documentation and communication in professional advisory services. The case serves as a reminder for companies to establish the scope and parameters of services provided, ensuring that all parties are aware of the terms and conditions involved.
