#CITIC ok’d to complete C$612m investment in #Ivanhoe Mines
Ivanhoe Mines secured on Tuesday an additional C$612 million (about $464m) granted by its largest shareholder, China’s state-owned CITIC Metal, in April this year, which the Canadian miner is using to build a giant copper mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The investment, now fully approved, is CITIC’s second major one in less than a year, bringing its total financing to about $1 billion.
