RtheR. It was a legit Barrick screw-up. Please observe below;

I received this from investor@barrick.com

For Immediate Release
BARRICK EXTENDS OFFER FOR ARGENTINA GOLD
Toronto, January 29, 1999
Barrick Gold Corporation announced today that it is extending its offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Argentina Gold
Corp. for Cdn$200 cash per share to 12:01 am (local time) on Tuesday, February 9, 1999.
Barrick's shares are traded under the ticker symbol ABX on the Toronto, Montreal New York, London and Swiss Stock Exchanges and
the Paris Bourse.

A short while later I received this,

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.
The correct press release is as follows:
BARRICK EXTENDS OFFER FOR ARGENTINA GOLD
Toronto, January 29, 1999...Barrick Gold Corporation announced today that it is extending its offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Argentina Gold Corp. for Cdn $5.00 cash per share to 12:01 a.m. (local time) on Tuesday February 9, 1999.
Barrick's shares are traded under the ticker symbol ABX on the Toronto, Montreal, New York, London and Swiss Stock Exchanges and the Paris Bourse.
This press release was sent to recipients of the investor@barrick.com email press release service. Passport Online, Barrick Gold's internet service provider, sincerely regrets the error and apologizes for any inconvenience.

Barrick really did issue the error.

>>>>Lets be ambitious and optimistic but lets not go mad. I don't think anyone should buy ARP with this as their target.<<<<

I agree Ray and certainly don't think this is anywhere close to the target....I was simply commenting on how funny it was and how this could possibly happen.

enjoy the ride.
