    Barrick Gold (ABX) says it has started a process to sell its oil and gas unit, Barrick Energy, as the spread has grown between Alberta oil prices and the Texas crude price. Barrick Energy's sales are at Edmonton Par price, while the miner's energy costs are benchmarked against WTI. ABX does not say how much it expects to raise in the auction.

    Seems like they are selling at the worst possible time. But then those project overruns have to be paid for.

    On the contrary, I think it's good time to sell oil assets, because the oil prices are quite high now.

    Not Canadian oil from Alberta, its down around $55/bbl. It sells at a huge discount to WTI crude because of the lack of transportation options.

    It means cash will come to ABX, asset quality will improve and more concentration on core business.
