RE:TakeoverKainantu was a Barrick property. Barrick sold it to KNT because the Barrick people were terrible operators who burned their relations with the locals to the ground and whom considered the deposit to be too small for Barrick's portfolio. Even if Barrick wanted it back I doubt the locals would sign off on it. If you are dreaming of a new owner be wary of the Papua-New Guinea government nationalizing it!!
