When you make a normally Medium armor out of mithril, it is treated as Light armor. A barbarian can use Fast Movement while wearing Light armor.
Here's a link to the PRD. With it, you can read about Fast Movement and mithril armor even if you don't have the CRB available.

Most mithral armors are one category lighter than normal for purposes of movement and other limitations. Heavy armors are treated as medium, and medium armors are treated as light, but light armors are still treated as light. This decrease does not apply to proficiency in wearing the armor. A character wearing mithral full plate must be proficient in wearing heavy armor to avoid adding the armor’s check penalty to all his attack rolls and skill checks that involve moving.
Mithral medium armor counts as light for all limitations specifically including movement limitations, but counts as medium for proficiency requirements.

So a barbarian wearing mithral medium armor has a speed of 40ft. yes?
Depending on the barbarian and circumstances, possibly.
A creature with a base movement speed of 30' that possesses the Fast Movement (Ex) barbarian class ability that is wearing medium armor made out of mithral and not carrying a heavy load and whose speed is not otherwise modified would have a speed of 40 feet.

Per RAW however, the other barbarians will make fun of you.
But I am not like other barbarian's.

Con:17
Int:14
Wis:16

Int was 16 but I gave up 2 points to other players, by GM's decree I could since I rolled so ultra well.
He will become a leader of some raiding northern force one day and a chieftain. (who will want to become caliph in the caliph's place.)
Or I will smash other puny barbarian's faces then.

Those are some insane stats. That's like ... Khan genetic superman level right there.

Yeah they are, never rolled better. Ironically I'm taking heavy influence from Leman Russ the primarch of space wolves.

Those are almost demi-god stats.
I should confess though that my half-orc barbarian wears a mithril breastplate and wields a raper. No one makes fun of him either, except the other players.
I'm sure no one makes fun of him when their heads are on the floor already ^^
I'm picking most likely an earth breaker.

You could always just get masterwork transformation cast on him. Then enchant it as normal.
