BC mining groups reject permitting delays, economic benefits study
MABC CEO Michael Goehring called the study’s methodology unsound and its conclusions deceiving.
Zijin Mining Group Co Ltd said it plans a $280 million U.S. dollar-denominated bond issue, raising capital to acquire copper concentrate overseas for a smelter project of its unit.
In a filing to the Hong Kong bourse on Tuesday, Zijin Mining said the bonds would have maturity of five years and a fixed interest rate of 4.25 percent per year during its term with interest payable semi-annually.
