In today's post. Post says former president dies Barrick Gold Corp ABX Shares issued 375,645,771 Oct 27 close $32.20 Wed 28 Oct 98 In the News The Financial Post reports in its Wednesday edition that Bob Smith, the former president of Barrick Gold and a pillar of the Canadian mining industry, died on Tuesday in Toronto of adult respiratory distress syndrome. He was 66. Reporter Keith Damsell says that Mr. Smith was the alter ego of Peter Munk, Barrick's dashing chairman and chief executive, preferring a hard hat and pick-axe to a three-piece suit. He was known as a miner's miner, a man who held the respect of Barrick employees at mines around the world because he was one of them. Mr. Munk says that Mr. Smith's death came as a great shock to him. Mr. Munk says that Mr. Smith was closer to him than anyone else he ever worked with. Mr. Smith's greatest achievement was the $1-billion (U.S.) development of Barrick's Goldstrike project in Nevada. The spectacular ore body established Barrick as a world-class gold producer.
