    Into the second round for a half-share of the $1bn-odd mine are believed to be Northern Star, Evolution Gold and China’s Zijin Mining, while the $3.16bn Saracen Mineral Holdings should not be discounted.

    Barrack Gold is selling a 50 per cent stake in the asset through investment bank Credit Suisse. The remaining interest held by Newmont Goldcorp is also expected to come up for sale.

    Expectations are that Barrick’s 50 per cent interest in the Super Pit will sell for between $US300m and $US400m ($436m- $581m). Northern Star is the frontrunner. Should Northern Star or Evolution Mining buy the interest, an equity raising could be launched.

    Barrick came close to selling its stake in the Super Pit in 2016 through Credit Suisse to China’s Shandong Tyan Home for $1.36bn, but the deal collapsed.
