Metro Toronto Convention Centre and Peter Munk

Peter Munk: I think I ll be saying goodbye to you soon, Munk, 86, told Barricks annual meeting of shareholders at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, according to 660 News. Munk said his commitment to Barrick was never determined by his title or the perks that came with leading the worlds largest gold producer. He promised to remain involved in the company he built from as a part owner in a small mine in northern Ontario into a heavyweight worth some $22 billion, with more than a dozen mines around the world and Barrick Gold founder Peter Munk said Wednesday the time had come to say goodbye to the company he started more than 30 years ago, promising he was leaving the gold miner in good hands and describing a bright future for a firm coming off two less-than-stellar years. I do it, not just because the time is right, but because I think I can hand it over to the best A-team Barrick ever had. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
