U.S. miner sweetened last-ditch bid for Goldcorp
Article Abstract:
Glamis Gold Ltd. increased its bid for Goldcorp Inc. by 3.4 percent to $2.76-billion (U.S.) on February 7 2005, in a bid to stop a proposed merger between the owners of the rich Red Lake mine in northern Ontario and Wheaton River Minerals Ltd. The move by Glamis came three days before Goldcorp shareholders voted on Goldcorp's friendly $2.4 billion (Canadian) takeover of Vancouver-based Wheaton River, which has gold and copper assets around the world.
