ABX Barrick Gold Corp. (BC) (delisted)

TORONTO--Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX), the world's largest gold miner, said on Tuesday that British financier Nathaniel Rothschild has resigned from its board of directors.

Mr. Rothschild, a member of the eponymous banking dynasty, quit due to "other time commitments," Toronto-based Barrick said in a statement.

Mr. Rothschild, who had been a director at Barrick since April 2010, is currently involved in a battle to control Bumi PLC (BUMI.LN), the U.K.-listed coal miner that he co-founded. On Monday Mr. Rothschild called for a general shareholder meeting at Bumi with the aim of replacing most of the company's directors.
