RE: RE: RE: russel 3000 FP says B2Gold rallies in advance of index inclusion 2013-06-18 09:36 ET - In the News The Financial Post reports in its Tuesday, June 18, edition that B2Gold jumped 22 cents to finish at $2.46 on Monday in Toronto, the most in three weeks in anticipation of inclusion in an index of gold mining stocks. A Bloomberg News dispatch to the Post reports that Monday's share action was the biggest one-day gain since May 8. B2Gold shares were the most actively traded stock in Canada on Monday with 16.6 million shares traded, 2-1/2 times the three-month average. The Vancouver-based company's shares have dropped 31 per cent this year. B2Gold is slated to become a member of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index on June 21, Ian MacLean, a spokesman for B2Gold, said from Vancouver. Katrina Clay, an NYSE spokesman, has confirmed that B2Gold will be included in the index on June 21. "It's created quite a bit of front-running on the stock and that's why the volume and price are up today," says Mr. MacLean. "Many mining sector exchange traded funds follow the index." B2Gold has two operating mines in Nicaragua and one in the Philippines, according to its website. The Post reported on May 9 Clarus Securities analyst Jamie Spratt's recommendation to buy B2Gold. It could then be had for $2.48.
