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.
Brazilian steelmaker Gerdau has signed a deal to buy out the stakes owned in Gerdau Summit by its joint venture partners Sumitomo Corporation and Japan Steel Works, it said on Thursday in a securities filing.
According to Gerdau, it will buy a 39.53% slice owned by Sumitomo and a 1.74% stake from JSW, with a total cost of $32.6 million.
The transaction is expected to close in early 2025, Gerdau said.
