Barrick taps Michael Klein as advisor on Zaldivar mine options-sources

Barrick Gold is being advised on options for its Zaldivar copper mine in Chile by the boutique firm of mining rainmaker Michael Klein, in a deal potentially worth around $2-billion, three sources familiar with the matter said on Monday. Toronto-based Barrick has already contacted a limited group of buyers including some diversified Chinese miners and copper companies, the sources said, declining to be identified since the matter is private.
