barrick gold opa, page-8

Hi Recyug,

Would not consider my research on this topic exactly rewarding as there is not that much information available.

I asked a question at the AGM related to the OPA and CB in a very open reply stated that there is what might be considered a new OPA (all commercial in confidence) now operating and that we should consider all past documentation irrelevant.

Probably also need to give some consideration to the fact that there has been a high level policy shift at Barrick ocurring over the past twelve months, so a number of changes to their future operations and plans might be starting to trickle down the pipeline (who knows?).

This question of what type of ore bodies a mill can treat is a fairly new one for me, probably on the basis that I thought if you have an existing mill surely it can treat the ore you are planning on mining?

Seems that mills are "horses for courses", which is another factor to include into risk profile for an operation.

Just hope someone can throw some light on all this.

cheers, kentwang
