巴里克黄金公司

加拿大巴里克黄金公司（BarrickGoldCorp）去年在非洲的一宗巨额铜矿交易令其背上了沉重的负担，但这却将给中国提供了一个加强在非洲大陆黄金开采业务的机会。

The fallout from a costly copper deal in Africa last year by Canada 's Barrick Gold Corp. is giving China a chance to strengthen its gold mining footprint in the continent .

巴里克黄金公司（BarrickGold）和纽蒙特矿业公司（NewmontMining）是全球产量（以盎司计）最高的金矿开采商。包括它们在内的金矿开采商度过了艰难的2013年，原因是金价对它们一些最重要的项目造成了影响。

Gold miners including Barrick Gold and Newmont Mining , the world 's largest by ounces of annual production , have had a difficult year in 2013 because of the effect of the gold price on some of their most important projects .

加拿大巴里克周四说，该公司正在与国有采矿及精炼企业中国黄金集团公司（ChinaNationalGoldGroupCorp.）进行谈判，向后者出售其主要位于坦桑尼亚的非洲巴里克黄金公司的全部或部分业务，合同金额最高可达39亿美元。

Barrick said Thursday it is in talks to sell all or part of its Tanzania-focused gold operation , African Barrick Gold PLC for as much as $ 3.9 billion to China National Gold Group Corp. , a state-owned miner and refiner .
