New Barrick Group kuinunua Acacia

[MsemajiUkweli]

Baada ya Kampuni ya Barrick Gold kuungana na Kampuni ya Randgold Resources na kuwa kampuni inayoitwa New Barrick Group yenye thamani ya US$18.3 bilioni. Kwa sasa kuna taratibu zinazofanyika ili kuzinunua hisa zilizobakia za Acacia ambazo ni asilimia 36 zenye thamani ya US$303 milioni kwa hesabu iliyofanya Jumanne wiki hii.

‘’Baada ya kukamilisha kazi ya kuziunganisha kampuni za Barrick Gold na Randgold Resource, tutakaa na Acacia na Serikali ya Tanzania ili kumaliza tofauti zilizopo’’, Alisema Mark Bristow ambaye kwa sasa ameteuliwa kuwa Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa New Barrick Group.

Acacia ilinukuliwa ikisema kuwa ilikuwa ikisubiri kupewa taarifa rasmi na Barrick kuhusu mazungumzo yake na serikali ya Tanzania.

Serikali ya Tanzania imekataa kukutana na Acacia kutokana na suala la ukwepaji wa kodi.

"Kama ilivyoshauriwa hapo awali, Barrick bado haijaipa Acacia mapendekezo ya ufumbuzi kamili wa migogoro ambayo Barrick ameweza kukubaliana na Serikali ya Tanzania licha ya majadiliano yao ya moja kwa moja yalifanywa mnamo Oktoba 2017," ilisema Acacia.

Katika mahojiano na Globe and Mail mnamo Septemba John Thornton, mwenyekiti mtendaji wa Barrick Gold, alisema Acacia "hakuwahi kulipia kodi ya mapato" kwa serikali ya Tanzania na njia bora ya kukabiliana na tatizo hili ilikuwa kupitia majadiliano na serikali.

Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Randgold Resources ambaye kwa sasa ni Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa New Barrick Group, Mark Bristow aliliambia gazeti la Miningmx mnamo Oktoba 1 kwamba alikuwa na nia ya kuwekeza Tanzania. Alisema, "Je, sisi, kama Randgold, tunaenda Tanzania? Kabisa. Je! Tumefanya kazi na serikali ya Tanzania kama Randgold? Ndio, tumefanya "alisema.

Habari kwa lugha ya Kiingereza:

BARRICK Gold may buy the shares it doesn’t already own in Acacia Resources, the UK-listed Tanzanian miner in which it has a 64% stake.

Bloomberg News, citing people familiar with the situation, said the takeover of Acacia may happen once Barrick has completed a merger with Randgold Resources.

Mark Bristow, CEO of Randgold Resources, told Miningmx that he was interested in Tanzania as an investment destination for his company. “Would we, as Randgold, go into Tanzania? Absolutely. Have we engaged with the government of Tanzania as Randgold? Yes, we have,” he said.

“We need to sit down and talk with all parties,” said Bristow of a dispute between Acacia Mining and the Tanzanian government in which it is alleged there are unpaid taxes estimated at tens of billions of dollars stretching back two decades. “Right now, though, I am just an interested by-stander,” said Bristow. “There’s still a lot of work to be done to get the transaction closed,” he said of the proposed merger with Barrick.

Once the merger with Randgold is complete, the enlarged group will look for solutions for Acacia, with Barrick favoring taking full ownership of the unit, Bloomberg News said. A 36% stake in the company would be valued at about $303m, based on the closing price in London on October 23, it added.

Despite its political challenges, Acacia has performed strongly this year despite not having underground gold production from Bulyanhulu, its flagship mine, which was mothballed last year following an export ban on mineral concentrate from the mine, and that of Buzwagi.

It’s therefore understandable that it might not want to cast off the mines because of some solvable political dispute.

Acacia had rebuilt its net cash position to $74m, an increase of $65m for the year to date. The company forecast production of more than 500,000 ounces for the year which compares favourably with the 435,000 and 475,000 oz previous outlook. Net earnings came in at $11.9m, equal to 2.9 US cents per share which were 26% down on the $16.0m or 3.9c/share) booked in the third quarter of the 2017 financial year.

London-listed Acacia has been unable to export gold concentrate from Tanzania since March 2017 because of a battle over unpaid taxes. Since then Acacia’s parent Barrick Gold has been trying to strike a deal with the country’s president, John Magufuli.

Acacia also said that it was waiting on Barrick to provide it with an update regarding its negotiations with the Tanzanian government which had refused to meet with Acacia on the matter of the tax allegations.

“As previously advised, Barrick has not yet provided to the company a proposal for a comprehensive resolution of the disputes that Barrick has been able to agree in principle with the GoT, despite their direct discussions since announcements were made in October 2017,” said Acacia in its update.

In an interview with the Globe and Mail in September John Thornton, executive chairman of Barrick Gold, said Acacia had “never paid a dime of income tax” to the Tanzanian government and the best way to address the problem was through dialogue with the government.

Haya ndo yale niliyokuwa nayasema wakati ule! Hata baada ya "merger", New Barrick Group ndo hapo ina thamani ya USD 18.3 Billion.

Kitoto kimoja cha old Barrick tunakidai USD 190 Billion halafu bado kuna mtu anaendelea kuamini ipo siku tutakuja kulipwa! Bado kuna mtu anaamini data za akina Profesa Mruma!!

Technically, endapo Tanzania tutaweza ku-prove tunaibiwa na hivyo kuwa na haki ya kuzi-abuse a known world gold data, kinachoweza kufanyika katika kutenda haki labda Acacia kuwa dissolved kwa sababu audited books za Acacia na Barrick zinaonesha hazina hiyo thamani!

[shahazady mustafa]

Kwa macho yetu tunaona kama hawa watu hawajuani na wanafanya biashara, lakini ukweli inaonesha wanaichezea nchi yetu kwa kubadili badili majina tu kwa nia ya kutuchuna madini yetu na mambo yakiwafika pabaya wachache kati yao wanarudi kwao kubadili jina na kurudi kama kampuni nyingne kuinunua iliyopo lakni ukweli ni kwamba hawa jamaa wakianza kupitia wakati mgumu wanabadili majina ya kampuni yao na wafanyakazi kubadilishana vituo nchi hadi nchi lakini sisi tunaona kuwa wameuziana ila lengo ni kuua matatizo na changamoto wanazokuwa wanazipitia.

Hapo kabla, ktk miaka ya 1985-90 kampuni hii ilikuwa na jina jingne (nimelisahau kidogo), baadae ndo likaaja barick gold mining, baadae tena likapita na kuja Acacia gold mine,sasa eti inarudi ile ile kwa muondoko mpya wa Barick group.
Daaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hapa shamba litaendelea kuwa la bibi tu hata tukivinba namna gani.

 

[Elitwege]

Lisu kwa nini ulitudanganya kwamba tutashitakiwa MIGA ?

Ulikuwa unataka tuogope tuwaache Acacia waendelee kutunyonya?

Kwa hali hiyo Lisu hufai kabisa na sijui umekula maharage ya watu

Kuna mzungu moja juzi akasema hivi "deni analodai Magufuli kwa Accacia ni Trip ya kwenda mwezini na kurudi" nilicheka sana. Lakini yote tisa ukweli mchungu ni kwamba hili deni haliwezekaniki kulipwa kabisa. Kibaya zaidi upande wa Serikali kumeshatokea mkanganyiko mkubwa sana kwenye TAKWIMU.

Nadhani njia pekee na ya kuweza kwenda mbele vizuri ilikuwa ni kupitia upya hii mikataba katika Sovereign Right ili kuzuia upigaji mwingine. Ila hii ya kuendelea kusaka wachawi sidhani kama itafanikisha kitu.

Mzee hii mikataba mipya nchi iwe inapiga asilimia kubwa bila kulaliwa. Japo tukiangalia katika mtazamo mpana unadhani hao Barrick bila kukarashwa hivi wangekubali kukaa meza ya mazungumzo na kuwa na heshima ??

Mimi nadhani katika hili, deni lisifutwe bali ili litumike kama ya Bargaining Chip kwenye mikataba ijayo ili kuzuia kulaliwa.....

Mpaka sasa lengo lisiwe kupewa hela tu, maana hata kama wanalikubali hilo deni, hawatakuwa na uwezo wa kulilipa yaani its simply a Bad Debt. Muhimu ni kukaa kwenye mazungumzo na kuangalia jinsi gani nchi yetu inaweza kufaidika na huu uwekezaji bila kulaliwa tena kiboya-boya maana hata kama takwimu ziwe vipi bado hawa jamaa walikuwa wanatupiga sana. Kusema walikuwa hawapigi tutakuwa waongo.....
