    CHINA'S Minmetals Resources said today it intended to make a $C6.3 billion ($6.3bn) offer for Zambia-focused copper miner Equinox Minerals.

    The move complicates a hostile bid that its target is making for Lundin Mining.

    Minmetals, which already owns 4.2 per cent of Equinox, said the $C7-a-share cash offer was conditional on the termination of the Lundin bid.

    In March, Equinox Minerals said it would not raise its $C4.8bn bid for Lundin, despite the proposal being rejected as inadequate by Lundin's board.

    The battle comes amid a record surge in copper prices, driven by the rising demand for natural resources in Asia, and especially China, the world's largest consumer of copper and other base metals.

    * Kalahari chairman says confident deal will go through

    * Kalahari shares trading at 230p, below 290p CGNPC offer

    * Deadline for CGNPC bid is 5 p.m. (1600 GMT) on May 3 * CGNPC declines to comment

    (Adds details, quotes, background)

    By Clara Ferreira-Marques

    LONDON, April 28 (Reuters) - Uranium miner Kalahari Minerals (KAH.L) is confident it will seal a deal with China Guangdong Nuclear Power (CGNPC) despite worries over the 756 million pound ($1.26 billion) takeover price that have held back its shares.

    "I am confident in CGNPC. They need uranium, and they want to do the deal," Executive Chairman Mark Hohnen told Reuters.

    "I am confident the deal will go through."

    The state-owned Chinese firm made its move on Kalahari last month -- days before the Japanese earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear disaster -- lured by access to one of the world's biggest uranium deposits at a time when major powers are scrambling for alternative sources of power.

    Kalahari owns a 43 percent stake in Extract Resources (EXT.AX), which owns the Husab uranium project in Namibia, potentially the second largest uranium mine in the world.

    Kalahari's shares, however, have been badly hit by uncertainty following Fukushima's troubles, and many investors are betting the price could be cut or the deal scrapped.

    The original proposal was priced at 290p a share, representing a more than 25 percent premium to the current market value. Kalahari shares are trading around 230p.

    Hohnen, speaking by telephone, said the two sides had held "commercial discussions" but declined to comment on whether CGNPC had proposed a price cut in the light of Fukushima.

    CGNPC declined to comment.

    The Japanese disaster forced a cut in a similar deal last month, when Canadian miner Uranium One (UUU.TO) cut its offer for Australian uranium prospector Mantra Resources by 12 percent, after a material adverse change clause was triggered.

    "I would be amazed if they have not discussed price and, specifically, if the Chinese have not asked to cut the price they initially offered," said one industry source.

    The current agreement between CGNPC and Kalahari, however, does not include a material adverse change clause after both sides agreed to remove it, sources close to the matter said.

    Under UK rules, given the initial release was a "possible" and not a "firm" offer, a change to price offered at this stage would force both sides to return to the negotiating table.

    A CHINESE government-controlled mining giant has spent $213 million buying up 43 farms so it can explore for coal outside the NSW township of Gunnedah.

    The mining boom has triggered an overnight property boom for the rural community 500km northwest of Sydney.

    A NSW title search reveals that Shenhua Watermark Coal carried out a two-year spending spree in 2009 and 2010, making some of the sellers instant millionaires.

    Some of the properties changed hands for 10 times more than their previous sale price.

    The highest price the Chinese miner paid was $18.3m for 1051ha of land at Curlewis.

    Shenhua paid $5.2m to a farmer for a house on four lots of land totalling 594ha in Duddy Road, Breeza, last November -- a property that last sold in 2002 for $376,000.

    A 183ha property along the Kamilaroi Highway at Breeza sold for $1.9m in June 2009 -- more than five times its previous sale price of $350,000.

    URANIUM developer Bannerman Resources has received a $383 million takeover offer from privately owned Chinese company Sichuan Hanlong Group.

    The developments are close to Rio Tinto's Rossing mine, the world's third-biggest uranium mine by production.

    Hanlong's offer for 100 per cent of Bannerman, priced at 61.2 cents per share, was highly conditional and timed to take advantage of a weak share price for the miner in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident.

    Bannerman's shares closed at 38.4c on Friday, valuing it at about $90.3 million.

    Bannerman has previously said it is seeking joint venture partners to assist the development of its 80 per cent-owned Etango project, its principal resource.

    PRIVATE Chinese group Sichuan Hanlong will offer $1.44 billion for Central Africa-focused iron ore developer Sundance Resources.

    Sundance said Hanlong Mining Investment Pty Ltd had offered 50 cents for each Sundance share through a scheme of arrangement, a 25 per cent premium to the shares' close on Friday.

    Shares in Sundance today jumped 15 per cent on news of the takeover offer. Sundance stocks gained 7 cents, or 17.5 per cent, to 47c by late morning.

    Hanlong already holds an 18.6 per cent stake in the company, which it purchased in March from the investment vehicle of Sundance's late director Ken Talbot.

    "The board considers that the terms of the offer do not provide adequate value or certainty to Sundance shareholders in respect to possible joint venture, financing and offtake arragements," Sundance said.

    AUSTRALIA'S Cazaly Resources will sell its Parker Range iron ore project in Western Australia to an undisclosed South-East Asian investment group, for a sale price of up to $180 million.

    The deal, foreshadowed in The Australian today, includes $100m cash, plus royalties once Parker Range is brought into production. It is subject to approval by the investment group's board at a meeting in the next 10 days, Cazaly said in a statement.

    Cazaly managing director Nathan McMahon said: "This agreement unlocks and realises the value we've created in the Parker Range project for Cazaly shareholders, while allowing Cazaly to retain a share of the exploration upside."

    China and other Asian countries are increasingly looking to Australia as a source of new iron ore supply amid tight conditions and record prices for the key steel-making commodity.

    CHINESE company COFCO is likely to pick up its second sugar mill in North Queensland after the co-operative that runs the Proserpine mill yesterday knocked back a $115 million takeover offer from Singapore's Sucrogen.

    Just over 30 per cent of the 214 Proserpine farmers in the co-operative voted against a proposal that would have allowed Sucrogen to buy the mill. To be approved the proposal needed 75 per cent in favour.

    While Proserpine is the last co-operative mill left standing in Queensland, the status quo is unlikely to be maintained, largely because the mill has had a bad season and Sucrogen, through Westpac, had advanced it $15m in expectation of being able to take it over.

    Payment of that debt will be due within five days, and while Proserpine management were yesterday trying to contact Westpac to determine their position, it seems unlikely that the debt will become an issue in the next few days

    YANCOAL Australia, a unit of China's fourth-largest coal producer, Yanzhou Coal Mining, may spend more than $1 billion buying more mines in Australia as the global market turmoil makes assets cheaper.

    "We would consider large takeovers (more than $1bn)," Yancoal's managing director, Murray Bailey, said yesterday.

    Yancoal, which bought Felix Resources for $3.1bn in 2009, has agreed in the past two months to spend another $500 million buying assets in Australia, the world's biggest exporter of the fuel.

    The value of mining companies globally has dropped 30 per cent from an April high, according to the Bloomberg World Mining index, as market turmoil threatens to slow growth and reduce raw-material demand.

    "If the market stays like this for a period of time, you could certainly see people look at their projects and decide they're better off selling some of those," Investec Bank Australia resources analyst Colin McLelland said.

    The Associated Press, On Sunday October 9, 2011, 3:14 pm EDT

    China's Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corp. said Sunday that it has agreed to buy Canadian oil and gas company Daylight Energy Ltd. for about $2.2 billion Canadian ($2.1 billion U.S.).

    The purchase price amounts to a 43.6 percent premium over the average price of Daylight's shares over the 60 days that ended Friday, the company said.

    That works out to about CA$10.08 a share. Daylight's shares ended trading Friday on the Toronto Stock Exchange at CA$4.59.

    Daylight Energy is based in Calgary, Alberta. It explores for crude oil and natural gas liquids at sites in Alberta and northeast British Columbia.

    Sinopec International is a unit of China Petrochemical Corp., which is owned by Sinopec Group, the largest shareholder of petroleum and petrochemical giant Sinopec Corp. -- China's second-largest producer of crude oil.

    EIJING - China's Ministry of Commerce (MOC) said Friday it supports a Chinese company's bid to buy shares in the Portuguese power giant Energias de Portugal (EDP).

    The government supports Chinese companies' participation in the Portuguese government's privatization of its state-owned assets and their cooperation with Portugal in the electricity area, MOC spokesman Shen Danyang said in a statement.
    In a statement last month, EDP said it had reached an agreement for a possible partnership with China Power International Holding Ltd, which had expressed interest in buying its shares.
    Shen said China hopes Portuguese authorities decide bidding results in line with market principles in a transparent, fair and independent manner and make sure normal business deals are not affected by external factors. He did not specify the company's name.
    China has noticed some foreign media reports and foreign government actions regarding a Chinese company's plan to purchase EDP shares, he said, without elaborating.
    "As is known to all, it is a business act for Chinese firms to take part in foreign bids," he noted.
    Cooperation between Chinese and Portuguese firms in the power sector benefits both sides and will eventually boost Sino-Portuguese economic ties, Shen added.
    EDP is a major electricity operator in Europe, and Portugal's leading business group, in which the Portuguese state holds minority shares.

    Yanzhou eyes $8bn Gloucester deal

    CHINA'S Yanzhou Coal Mining is in preliminary discussions with Gloucester Coal to create an $8 billion coal giant, according to three people familiar with the matter.

    Gloucester Coal entered a trading halt prior to the beginning of trade today which will not be lifted until the commencement of trade Thursday.

    “The trading halt is necessary as Gloucester expects to make an announcement in connection with a possible change of control transaction, but is not yet in a position to make the announcement,” the statement read.

    As Deal Journal Australia revealed last week, Yancoal’s board secretary and deputy general manager Zhang Baocai said the company was considering a reverse takeover to fulfil commitments to Australia’s regulators.

    Volatile equity markets and Gloucester’s port capacity make a potential deal seem logical. Though Gloucester’s 64.5 per cent majority shareholder Noble Group has made clear it prefers to own minority stakes, its shareholders rejected the sale of Gloucester to Macarthur Coal last April.

    Rio eyes production from Mongolia copper project in 2022
    Budget for underground mine hits $6.75bn and draws angry response from Ulaanbaatar

    Rio Tinto expects to achieve first production from the expansion of its giant copper mine in the Gobi Desert by October 2022 but only if it can reach agreement on several outstanding issues with the government of Mongolia and a Canadian subsidiary.

    The company said on Wednesday that the budget for the first phase of the underground project at Oyu Tolgoi would come in at $6.75bn and it would start caving operations once it had received outstanding approvals, finalised a new power source and reached agreement on financing.

    Its comments drew an angry response from Ulaanbaatar, which said it was surprised at Rio’s multiple references to “government approvals”.
