Newmont takes top gold producer spot with $10 billion Goldcorp buy
(Reuters) - Newmont Mining Corp (NEM.N) said on Monday it would buy smaller rival Goldcorp Inc (G.TO) (GG.N) for $10 billion (£7.7 billion), creating the world's biggest gold producer in the face of dwindling easy-to-find reserves of the precious metal.
The transaction, the biggest ever takeover in the gold sector according to Refinitiv, follows Barrick Gold Corp's (ABX.TO) agreement in September to buy Randgold Resources Ltd in a deal valued at $6.1 billion.
"Combining forces will give us the sector's best project pipeline and exploration portfolio," Newmont Chief Executive Gary Goldberg said on a conference call with analysts. "These prospects translate to the gold sector's largest reserve and resource base."
Vancouver-based Goldcorp's Toronto-listed shares rose 7 percent to C$13.75 at 12:03 p.m. ET (1703 GMT). Newmont Mining's shares were down about 8.8 percent at $31.83 in New York.
