Australia's Normandy Mining by Newmont Mining after a
four-month bidding war will not be a one-way ticket
higher for gold prices, but should be beneficial for
the downsizing gold industry over the long haul,

JOHANNESBURG, Jan 4 (Reuters) -- AngloGold Chairman
and CEO Bobby Godsell said on Friday his company's
offer for Australia's Normandy Mining was final and it was
now up to Normandy's shareholders to decide.
However, Godsell told Reuters in an interview that he was
encouraged by the narrowing gap between AngloGold's
offer and a richer bid from U.S. rival Newmont Mining Corp.

The Christmas/end-of-year holiday season is a time of
reflection for many of us. As a result of the terrorist
attacks and other strife in the world, the closing of
2001 may be more poignant than most years. It certainly
is for me, as chairman of the Gold Anti-Trust Action
Committee.
