Barrick is coming for usDo not tender for less than $3.75 Bristow Feb 22:
Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX.TO) needs more assets in Canada, the gold miner’s new chief executive officer said Wednesday, on the company’s first day of trading since its recent acquisition of Randgold Resources Ltd. “Barrick is back,” 59-year-old Mark Bristow told BNN Bloomberg in an interview from the New York Stock Exchange. “We should be proud of being team players in the Barrick family, and one of the things that I really am focused on is we definitely need more assets in Canada. ”
Barrick currently operates just one mine in the country – Hemlo Mines – east of Thunder Bay, Ont.
“Don’t get too hung up right now on us only having Hemlo,” Bristow added. “We’re definitely focused on growing this business and you’re correct if you’re recognizing that we’re underweight in our investments in Canada.”
