Why mining CEOs are not telling the truth when they say they are open to being acquired

B2Gold (NYSE: BTG) president and CEO Clive Johnson said many mining sector CEOs are lying to their shareholders by not disclosing value-creating M&A approaches by other miners. Johnson said B2Gold may make direct approaches to shareholders as it plans M&A activity this year.
Johnson spoke to Kitco correspondent Paul Harris at BMO's Global Metals & Mining Conference held in Florida last week.

AISC of $900, it has to be the best in the industry? I have been in B2Gold for 5 years and it has treated me well so far.
