(miningmx.com) – The West had to show more resiliance supporting nations in conflict if it was to secure the minerals demanded of the current commodities supercycle. This is the view of Mark Bristow, CEO of Barrick Gold who said that violence in Sudan was unlikely to get “out of control” because Saudi Arabia was committed to intervention. “The western world has a habit of when something doesn’t work you want to leave,” Bristow said in an interview last week. “This is a time in history when the West has to show commitment to support the process of finding the right civilian government.”
