Mining’s old guard needs strong medicine
A new report details subpar investor returns in the mining industry over the last decade, particularly big cap diversified companies which have not adapted to new realities.
Zambian President Rupiah Banda opened the country’s largest coal mine Friday, after Singapore’s Nava Bharat took over majority shares and invested $750 million (525 million euros) at the once defunct state entity.
Nava Bharat, a Singapore subsidiary of India’s Nava Bharat Ventures, has a 65 percent stake in Maamba Collieries, with Zambia’s government owning 25 percent through its Zambia Copper Mines Investment Holdings.
