ABX — Barrick Gold Corp.

Permissible business (mining and selling physical gold); moderate debt typical of mining.

Why?

Barrick's core business — mining and selling physical gold, a permissible commodity — is distinct from gold-backed financial instruments, which carry separate rulings. It carries moderate debt typical of capital-intensive mining projects, worth verifying against current filings.
