(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 31 AGO - The Chinese company Zijin Mining
Group, one of the largest producers of gold and copper in the
world, has been selected by Serbia to become the strategic
partner of the state-controlled Serbian RTB Bor mine and smelter
complex, local media reported, quoting the Serbian minister of
Mining and Energy, Aleksandar Antic.
The Serbian government informed that the Zjin Mining Group
has offered to buy a 65% stake in RTB Bor, a business plan worth
1.26 billion dollars, an investment of 350 million in the
complex, covering for the debts of RTB Bor up to 200 million
dollar. The Chinese group has also promised to keep 5,000
working places at the complex.
Serbia launched a call for a strategic investor for the large
state-run copper mining and smelting complex, located in the
eastern part of the country, last July. (ANSA).
