NP/wire say Barrick, Teck hear Peru miners may strike Barrick Gold Corp (C:ABX) Shares Issued 862,977,202 Last Close 11/10/2006 $33.27 Monday November 13 2006 - In the News Also Teck Cominco Ltd (C:TCK) In the News The National Post reports in its Saturday, Nov. 11, edition that Peru's mining unions are preparing a national strike to show opposition to government proposals to change profit sharing plans and other issues, the president of the National Federation of Mining, Metallurgy and Steel Workers said Friday. A Reuters dispatch to the Post reports that federation president Luis Castillo said, "On Nov. 22 and 23 we have a national session in Lima with delegates from all the country's unions and we'll define the start date for the strike." Mr. Castillo made his comments after a meeting with representatives of Peru's biggest mining unions. Mining is at the heart of Peru's economy, says Reuters. The Andean nation is the third-biggest world producer of copper and of zinc. It ranks fifth in gold. The most recent national mining strike lasted 48 hours. The strike was staged in April, 2004, to protest former president Alejandro Toledo's labour policies. Among the big miners operating in Peru are United States companies Phelps Dodge and Newmont Mining. Canadian senior miners Barrick Gold and Teck Cominco also operate in Peru. Mexico's Grupo Mexico also has operations in Peru. © 2006 Canjex Publishing Ltd. tanoose..............somethings to look out for??

Hi tanoose Nice post and esp. thanks for this ... >>>>>>>>>> IMHO we should be looking at anywhere from 15-20 million at minimum, basing it on the old German report stating that $10 million would be required to bring it up to a level of 80,000oz's/yr.The only thing i have been able to get from them is that it would cost more than $10 million. >>>>>>>>>> I am in [ frozen deer in head-light ] mode .... and when I get in spots like this the person I get maddest at is me ... I am still not certain - at what point - exactly - I screwed up .... but I know I have screwed up by being here. She has got me by the gottchas right now - and thats that. Let me explain ..... Even if we did 30,000 oz in the 4th qtr - my fear is that she would TRUMP that good news with some off the wall - left field - whatever_it_might_be NR, that in effect, would nullify the good news ... (yes - I am getting that paranoid about this) Anyway .. good luck to you ... Note: A small vent .... I do not think that MACRO-ECONOMICS is her strong suit ... regards, John
