please read the following entry in techstocks.com

In making this entry, I am not suggesting that Moneta
fits into the category as one of the mining companies
swimming in deep water. On the contrary, I believe
the price of gold today will have no adverse effect
on Barrick's continued involvement with the Michauld development
(save perhaps a re-negotiation for more than 60%.)

Barrick is a more valuable partner now, due to the gold
situation. The leverage offered by investing in Moneta
will be enhanced more than proportionately should it
be known she is going to become a gold producer.
This would largly be due to Barrick's continued strength
in the present market as opposed to weakness
that has developed for most other gold producers.

Moneta has done well in keeping cost down and finding
the best possible partner, but I expect no real news
for a good month or two on the truer status
of the partnership.

Money into Barrick at this time would be conservative,
but into Moneta, possibly quite exciting,
not so much a contrarian as a more speculative move,
one that might benefit greatly from the squeeze
being put on any die hard, stock searching contrarians
who find Barrick remains serious about this.
