Barrick vs Newmont
Barrick Gold has made an unsolicited, all-share bid for Newmont Mining. If Newmont accepts the $17.85 billion offer, the world's biggest gold miners would be united and—Barrick claims—costs would go down. Newmont CEO Gary Goldberg: "At this stage, they propose an 8% discount to our close on Friday. That doesn't make sense…Look at our record of good delivery and Barrick's destruction of value."
