Why Shares of Pretium Resources Are Soaring Today
It's neither a spike in the price of gold nor a glittering quarterly earnings report that has gold investors scooping up shares of gold-producer Pretium Resources (NYSE: PVG) today. Instead, it's news that Newcrest Mining (OTC: NCMGY) will be acquiring Pretium, bringing some consolidation to the gold industry.
As of 11:39 a.m. EST, shares of Pretium Resources are up 17.1%.
