RE:Worst year of production in 22 yearsPeter Munk must be rolling in his grave.Barrick was built on Peter who bought out JR miners that were not yet in production early in the exploration phase so he coulfd get free gold for his shareholders before the JR could drill off the full inventory.Post Munk the company bought out other producers with assets that were being mind out with falling production. With production falling over 22 yrs its clear that its time to get back to Peters roots and buy out JRs with 10 million oz world class high grade deposits.Bristow says he is going after a JR this year.SBB has 12 million oz grading open pit at 6gt.The mine is fully permitted financed and under full construction for 300,000oz in Q1 25.SBB says it plans to upgrade the ore and mine plan to 500,000 oz per yr.SBB has been named a take over target for ABX using its Canadian tax pools.If Bristow was wise he would beat AEM to the punch with a bid now before SBB can drill off 20 million oz at its George deposit starting this spring.Falling gold production over 22 yrs is a discrace and Barrick needs JR M&A now more than ever.
