KGC - Barrick Gold CEO rules out Kinross Gold purchase - report
Barrick Gold (NYSE:GOLD) CEO Mark Bristow ruled out a potential purchase of Kinross Gold (NYSE:KGC) after speculation about a possible deal.

Although Bristow isn't interested in Kinross (KGC) he didn't rule out another large-scale acquisition in the next few years, according to the report. Also see from Wednesday, Barrick says Q1 'softer' as expected but on track to meet full-year guidance.
