Perhaps it was Newmount that suggested the lrl split?
"Barrick is getting unsolicited expressions of interest in some of its operations from private-equity firms and smaller mining companies, Sokalsky said. In regards to the possibility of a joint venture with Newmont, both companies have had talks on the idea, which could be revived, he said."
Theres a lot of possibilites in the market atm, even reverse takeovers where little fish buy big fish.
