OK. Question and I know it is speculative. What does the highlighted text mean? (Articale at Pro Active Investor.) I know this has been discussed before but for me it is still a very grey area. Takeover target, is that just a simple purchase or is it like a hostile thing? And what may be the results? If you wish to comment.

"Barrick Gold literally sits on the sideline and drilling results that confirm these rich grades and additional mineralization at depth may put the stock into play as a takeover target."
