Game over: Barrick dilutes by $3 billion to buy back gold hedges

TORONTO -- Barrick Gold, the world's biggest gold producer, said on Tuesday it will issue $3 billion in stock and use the proceeds to buy back all of its fixed-price gold hedges and a portion of its floating hedges.

Barrick will take a $5.6 billion charge on its third-quarter earnings as a result of the move.

Dear Comrades In Golden Arms,



I stood in Barrick's head office with the then President Oliphant and another top executive. I had gone to Barrick to make them a cash offer for Kabanga Nickel.

Oliphant asked me what I thought about their hedge program. I told him at $305 Barrick was in trouble and at $354.90 he was in trouble.

Since then Mr. Oilphant has resigned as president of Barrick.

The other executive, still with the company, knows I am telling the absolute truth. I could have saved Barrick all these billions, but that is life.

Now listen to me: Gold is going to $1224, then to $1650 and after that to Alf's numbers.

Another point I wish to make is that some say Jim knows gold, but that is it. Those people are so very, very wrong!
