"After his father’s death, Dr McEwen had control
of Goldcorp and used it to take over Dickenson
Mines Ltd because he felt sure that Dickenson’s then
poorly-performing Red Lake gold mine in northwestern
Ontario had great potential. He had to fight
another mining industry investor, Ned Goodman – of
Dundee Bancorp Inc – in an intense battle for control
of Dickenson."
"He suggests that consolidation will be particularly
driven by institutional investors. They frequently
have holdings in several juniors and they “are likely to
come up and say: You two will get together.”
