Barrick Gold Corp.'s shares continued to advance Monday in the wake of news Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. holds a stake in the Canadian gold producer.

In morning trading, the Toronto-listed shares were 10% higher at C$39.41, while in New York the shares were up 11% at $29.85. Building on gains Friday after Berkshire Hathaway Inc. disclosed a roughly 20.9 million share stake in Barrick, the shares have risen roughly 60% year-to-date.
