FP/wire say Lundin on the prowl for an acquisition

2012-01-26 08:56 ET - In the News

The Financial Post reports in its Thursday, Jan. 26, edition that Lundin Mining aims to make an acquisition in 2012 valued at as much as $500-million (U.S.). A Bloomberg dispatch to the Post reports that chief executive officer Paul Conibear says: "We're looking at a few things that are non-public. ... I'd like to do something significant this year." In March, Lundin terminated an agreement to be acquired by Inmet Mining, while defending itself against a hostile bid from Equinox Minerals. Lundin began a process to consider "strategic alternatives" and said in May that offers received for all or part of the company were too low. The Equinox bid ended in April when the Australian company agreed to be acquired by Barrick Gold. Mr. Conibear was Lundin's senior vice-president of corporate development in May when he was appointed to become interim CEO to replace Phil Wright. The CEO appointment was made permanent in late October. Lundin says it will consider copper, zinc and nickel acquisitions in a range of $100-million (U.S.) to $500-million (U.S.). Mr. Conibear says one asset under consideration is family owned. He says, "We're looking off the beaten path."
