(Kitco News) – Money is flowing into the mining sector, but M&A could be muted by COVID-19 restrictions. Twenty-twenty’s deals pale to last year’s blockbuster tie-ups, such as the $13B Goldcorp-Newmont deal, and Kirkland Lake-Detour Gold take out at $3.8B. This year, the biggest deal is SSR Mining-Alacer at $2.4B.
