A consortium led by Chinaâs biggest gold mining company, the Zijin Mining Group, has made a $185.4 million bid for the British copper mining company Monterrico Metals in what could become Chinaâs first outright takeover of an overseas listed company. The acquisition would be the latest in a series of low-profile but substantial purchases of overseas mining assets by Chinese companies, part of the countryâs quest to diversify supplies of strategically important resources. Monterrico, which is based in London, holds rights to the still-undeveloped Rio Blanco copper and molybdenum deposits in northern Peru, which the company says could yield up to 25 millions tons of copper ore a year. Zijin holds a 45 percent share in the consortium, with a Chinese copper mining company, Tongling, taking 35 percent and Xiamen C& D, a trading and real estate conglomerate, holding 20 percent, Zijin said.
