Ivanhoe Mines und Zijin Mining: Deal-Abschluss für Kamoa Kupferprojekt in der DRC noch im Dezember?

Robert Friedland's Ivanhoe Mines (T.IVN) gibt sich weiter optimistisch, noch dieses Jahr den wichtigen Deal mit dem chinesischen Minenriesen Zijin Mining in der DRC zu schließen.

Die Regierung des kupferreichen Afrika-Staats wollte einen größeren Teil vom Kuchen bei der Entwicklung des gigantischen Kamoa-Projekts abgekommen - und seitdem gibt es einige "Kommunikationsprobleme". Zusätzlich kam Dr. Copper massiv unter die Räder, was das Geschäftsumfeld nicht unbedingt verbessert hat.

Kamoa gehört zu den größten und bedeutendsten Kupfer-Vorkommen der Welt, gilt als strategisches Asset und steht damit natürlich im Fokus der Begierde..

Ivanhoe Mines and Zijin Mining Group set to complete Zijin’s investment in the Kamoa Copper Project

HONG KONG – Robert Friedland, Executive Chairman of Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (TSX: IVN), and Chen Jinghe, Chairman of Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd., jointly announced today that Ivanhoe and Zijin have agreed to complete Zijin’s investment in Ivanhoe’s Kamoa Copper Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo on or before December 8, 2015.

Zijin agreed in May this year to acquire, through a subsidiary company, a 49.5% interest in Kamoa Holding Limited for an aggregate consideration of US$412 million. Kamoa Holding is an Ivanhoe Mines subsidiary that owns the company’s interest in the Kamoa Project. Ivanhoe also has agreed to sell 1% of its share interest in Kamoa Holding to Crystal River Global Limited. Details of the transaction are contained in the news release issued by Ivanhoe Mines on May 26, 2015.

Mr. Friedland said that constructive and cordial negotiations between Ivanhoe Mines, Zijin and senior DRC government officials in recent weeks have established an agreed course of action to develop the Kamoa Project.

“Ivanhoe and Zijin, together with Crystal River, have confirmed that all conditions to completion have been satisfied or waived and that the investment will be completed on or before December 8, 2015, in Hong Kong. Zijin is one of the world’s most accomplished miners and the conclusion of this transaction is a major step toward the realization of significant benefits for all of the stakeholders of Ivanhoe and Zijin, as well as for the Congolese people,” Mr. Friedland added..
