Barrick Gold on Monday recommended that its shareholders reject an unsolicited offer by TRC Capital Investment to buy about 0.29% of the miner’s common stock.

The gold miner said it had received notice of an unsolicited mini-tender offer made by TRC Capital to purchase up to 5 million of Barrick’s common shares, adding that it was at a below-market price of C$21.35 apiece.

TRC Capital has made several similar unsolicited mini-tender offers for shares of other public companies including Occidental Petroleum and Johnson & Johnson.

A mini tender is an offer to purchase no more than 5% of a company’s shares.
