RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Buyers One can reasonably debate and speculate about who would be a better target for Barrick. I don't agree with your analysis at all, but that was not the point of this exchange.
Rather, nothing changes the fact that the value of LME (whatever that is) is in no way tied into its market cap.
Furthermore, your statement about resource estimate not existing is also ridiculous. It may not be publicly available, but it is there. In addition, any potential buyer will make their own resource estimate from the data they get and base the price they pay on that-not the market cap.
