Barrick Gold says CEO Wilkins taking medical leave

27/03/08

TORONTO (Reuters) - Barrick Gold Corp said on Thursday that Greg Wilkins, its president and chief executive, has taken a leave of absence for medical reasons and Chairman Peter Munk will act as CEO on an interim basis.

The gold-mining company said that Wilkins has "a serious medical condition that will require his absence as he undergoes further tests, examinations and treatment."

Munk and Wilkins were to conduct meetings with investors in Europe next week. Those meetings will go ahead, with Barrick Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Jamie Sokalsky participating, the company said.
