On this BNN TV link, with video and everything. Here’s your excerpt:
Back in January, a punch up erupted between Clive Johnson, the CEO of B2Gold (BTO.TO 0.49%) and Daniel Earle, a sell side analyst for TD Securities at a posh dinner hosted by the bank as part of their annual mining conference in Toronto.
The clash at Modus Restaurant, which was said to be largely fuelled by generous amounts of red wine served to the mining luminaries, left Johnson with black eye and a pair of broken glasses.
Both B2Gold and TD acknowledged the incident, but declined to elaborate on the circumstances. Speaking in his first televised interview since the incident, Johnson told BNN he regrets the what happened.
“I don’t think anyone involved in that was particularly proud of what happened at the end of the day. It had nothing to do with business. It was an incredibly unfortunate situation,” he said.
