UK court approves Barrick Gold's takeover of Acacia

(Reuters) - Acacia Mining said on Friday a British court has approved a deal by which Barrick Gold will take over the gold miner and that its stock will stop trading from next week.The approval comes after the London-listed company in July agreed to a sweetened offer from Toronto-based Barrick Gold, a deal that raised expectations Acacia's long-running tax dispute with the Tanzanian government will finally come to an end.
