Thanks Ike !! I guess options expiery Friday must play a role in the recent performance of the stock... Check this one out : NP says 73 killed by ebola-like virus in Barrick mine Barrick Gold Corp ABX Shares issued 393,441,366 1999-09-10 close $27.95 Monday Sep 13 1999 The National Post reports in its Saturday, Sept. 11, edition that an ebola-like virus festering in a Congolese gold mine has killed 73 people. The National Post's Briefing column reports that a World Health Organization officials says there are dead humans, rats and bats decomposing in the mine. The fever has killed 73 of 88 people affected in Durba. The WHO official says the mine should be closed. Three-quarters of the 88 suspected cases registered since November, 1998, were gold diggers who entered the mine illegally, without protective equipment. The mine in Durba is jointly owned by the state Office des Mines de Kilomoto and Barrick Gold. The Canadian mining company pulled out of the operations in Durba when a war between Tutsi-led rebels and the government broke out in 1998. It is unclear who would have the authority to close down the mine. (c) Copyright 1999 Canjex Publishing Ltd.
