RE:RE:RE:RE:craz1357There is no conflict of interest. Barrick is required to disclose via 43-101 regs anything they find prior to any negotiations etc. Barrick is paying for the drilling and is entitled to run it and everything they do is precisely logged. If they find something they like and want to exercise their option, they are required by law to disclose what they have found or they will not get their chunk. If they find something large they would not mess up legally, over a few million spent on drilling, the stakes are too high, thats how options work.
