Gold miner Barrick Gold CEO Mark Bristow on Tuesday stressed to delegates attending the Investing in African Mining Indaba, in Cape Town, the importance of partnerships between countries and investors to make the most of the world’s natural resource endowment. He stated that some major mining countries in Africa were starting to see the merit in partnering with investors, but noted that, in other countries, there was a lingering readiness by both governments and investors to sacrifice long-term growth for short-term gains.
