RANDGOLD Resources CEO, Mark Bristow, described himself as “an interested by-stander” in Acacia Mining’s dispute with the Tanzanian government, but added that as an independent, standalone business, his company would be interested in investing in the East African country.
“Would we, as Randgold, go into Tanzania? Absolutely. Have we engaged with the government of Tanzania as Randgold? Yes, we have,” he said in an interview today. His comments may provide an insight into his approach should a proposed $18.3bn merger between Randgold and Barrick proceed.
