Bristow excited about prospects of ‘new Barrick’

The joint venture (JV) that Barrick is creating with Newmont in Nevada is a catalyst for further shareholder value, CEO Mark Bristow said on Thursday, highlighting to investors on a roadshow that the Nevada complex would be in a “league of its own”.

“We are very excited about the prospects of the new Barrick. The merger with Randgold Resources has created significant value for shareholders and the JV with Newmont is yet another catalyst, which we believe will create further value”.
