"... I felt they overpayed with Arequipa ..."

Frank, I think subsequent statements from Barrick will show that they most emphatically did not overpay for aqp - Pierina is expected to come onstream with cash costs of $50/oz - barrick.com

Sure they whined and bitched about the price, and others [notably Wilson] did as well - but aqp at 30Cdn was a very good deal for abx. Sure it's a different market, but that's always a fluctuating factor in the short-term, it will go the other way before long.

The big thing here imho is that they're not making an offer for just Amable -
they want the whole company, the whole land position.
And it can't be replaced, once arp is lost.

There's not many El Indio belts around.
