Oh, gee I won't have to tender my shares at $200 after all! Phew, I was worried for a while. Here is Barrick's corrected release:
This is a correction notice regarding Barrick Gold's January 29,1999 press release entitled BARRICK EXTENDS OFFER FOR ARGENTINA GOLD. The corrected purchase price of outstanding shares for ARGENTINA GOLD CORP. is Cdn $5.00 cash per share, not Cdn $200.00 cash per share as quoted in error.
