Sierra Leone woos miners to clean energy with $11 billion plan
Most mining firms rely on their own diesel supplies to extract iron ore, diamonds, rutile and bauxite in the resource-rich country.
South African miner Metorex (MTXJ.J: Quote) said on Monday that if there were any other serious offers to acquire it aside from one launched by Brazil’s Vale (VALE5.SA: Quote) it would have to consider them.
“If there are other serious and ‘firm’ offers for Metorex, the company has a duty to consider them and will of course consider any such offers in the best interests of its shareholders,” Metorex CEO Terence Goodlace said in an e-mailed response to questions submitted by Reuters.
