Takeover Target?, page-19

I would think 235 million for the lithium asset and keep the gold. However, I doubt in the midst of any tax issue, external companies would be interested yet. However in a few days ffx should be meeting the tax authorities to determine whether this is a clerical error or a case of underdeclaration. They have the supportive documents - the questions us whether the Mali tax authority has deemed there is an underdeclaration of sales. If it is the latter, Barrick would be involved and ffx has an outlet. So the reason for the increase in sale has to be determined first and how that figure was estimated. The implication is generally if the latter, it would include penalties and the repercussions for the company for 18 and 19 audits become problematic. However this is actua lly Barricks problem. If it is a cleric issue, the sp will roar back to the 20s.
