By Joe Schneider
Sept. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Barrick Gold Corp., the world's biggest producer of the metal, won't have to raise its $1.5 billion hostile bid for rival Canadian producer NovaGold Resources Inc., Barrick Chairman Peter Munk said.

He added, ``That's the arbitragers' problem, not mine.'' Munk made his comments while attending a meeting of shareholders of Trizec Canada Inc.
