Thornton is executive chairman at Barrick Gold Corp., the world’s second-largest gold producer. On Friday, Barrick confirmed it is considering merging with Newmont Mining Corp., the biggest producer, in an all-share zero premium deal that would be the largest ever pulled off in the gold mining industry. While Barrick said no decision has been made, such a deal would serve as an enormous victory for Thornton, an ex-Goldman Sachs banker whose appointment to the top Barrick position in 2014 without mining experience was viewed skeptically within the tight-knit Canadian mining community.
The merger reports followed a stronger-than-expected fourth quarter earnings report for Newmont late Thursday, which saw the miner post a near 8% increasing in gold production over the three months ending in December that helped it earn $214 million, or 40 cents a share, topping the FactSet consensus 25 cents a share. "We're going through a very detailed process between (Newmont President Tom Palmer) and I with a number of meetings with the Goldcorp team and with our own team as we go through that process," CEO Gary Goldberg told investors on a conference call late Thursday before reports of the Barrick interest surfaced.
