Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Joins the Gold Rush

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has put its gilded name behind one of the largest gold-mining firms, adding to the list of big-name investors making wagers tied to the precious metal at a time of significant economic uncertainty.

Berkshire late Friday disclosed that it held a $565 million stake in Barrick Gold Corp., the world’s second-largest gold miner, at the end of the second quarter. The stake makes Berkshire the 11th-largest shareholder in Toronto-based Barrick, according to FactSet.
