Turkey top envoy goes to Niger in bid to secure uranium supplies
The trip comes after Niger’s military government withdrew mining rights from Canadian and French companies to develop uranium deposits.
Minmetals Resources Ltd , a unit of China state-run China Minmetals Corp, said it would net $150.4 million from the sale of its entire stake in Equinox Minerals Ltd after it withdrew its its bid for the Africa-focused copper miner.
In a filing to the Hong Kong bourse late on Thursday, Minmetals said it had disposed of all its 37.27 million shares in Equinox on May 25 for about $310.5 million under an offer by Barrick Gold Corp .
