Goldcorp take over target I believe Goldcorp will be a take over target in 2006 . Newmont could be chasing G's assets sooner than later . While Barrick is digesting Placer Dome's assets , Newmont could make a killing by acquiring Goldcorp's assets . Pierre Lassonde once said : Land , land , land is the most important asset a mining company can get so why let such good assets to Goldcorp . I believe as soon as Goldcorp will be over with Placer and Virginia deals ..... Newmont could make this move ..... So I want to say to the naysayers about VIA and G merger don't care about VIA shareholders .... I think we can still make a lot of money with G and NVIA !!!!!
