   Hostile Equinox bid threatens $9bn Lundin-Inmet merger
   
   February 28, 2011
   ANADIAN copper miner Equinox Minerals plans to make a hostile bid today for rival Lundin Mining, which could scuttle Lundin's C$9 billion ($9.04bn) merger with Inmet Mining to forge an international copper-mining giant.
   
   Lundin yesterday said that it's been advised by Equinox that the miner will unveil its unsolicited offer for Lundin shares before the markets open today. Lundin said it is not aware of the terms and will not comment on the proposal until it's completed its review.
   
   Equinox is dual-listed on the Toronto and Australian stock exchanges.
   
   Takeover activity in Canada's mining industry has intensified in the last year, given the rising demand for natural resources from Asia, in particular China, the world's largest consumer of copper and other base metals.
   
   In January, Lundin and Inmet announced their plan to merge and create copper producer Symterra Corp in a transaction valued at about C$9bn. Under the terms of their deal, each Inmet shareholder is to receive 3.4918 shares of Symterra, and each Lundin shareholder will receive 0.3333 shares of Symterra for each share held
   
   .Equinox, Lundin and Inmet are based in Toronto.
   
   Lundin Mining is a base metals mining company with operations in Portugal, Spain and Sweden, which together produce copper, nickel, lead and zinc. It also holds a development project pipeline that includes an expansion project at its Neves-Corvo mine, along with its equity stake in the Tenke Fungurume copper-cobalt project in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

   CRANBROOK, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Mar 01, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
   
   Copper Canyon Resources Ltd. ("Copper Canyon" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: CPY) has filed a Notice of Civil Claim in British Columbia Supreme Court against NovaGold Resources Inc. ("NovaGold") and NovaGold Canada Inc. ("NovaGold Canada") seeking specific performance of its right of first refusal to acquire the Copper Canyon property. Copper Canyon has also applied to the British Columbia Securities Commission seeking to cease trade NovaGold's hostile takeover bid for all of the outstanding Copper Canyon shares (the "NovaGold Offer").
   
   Law Suit for 100% Interest in the Copper Canyon Property
   
   Pursuant to an Option Agreement and a Joint Venture Agreement with NovaGold Canada, Copper Canyon has a right of first refusal to purchase NovaGold Canada's 60% interest in the Copper Canyon property prior to sale of such interest to a third party. NovaGold has disclosed in the NovaGold Offer and in its previous public disclosure documents that it holds its 60% interest in the Copper Canyon property in trust for the Galore Creek Partnership, a 50/50 partnership between NovaGold and Teck Resources Limited. Since NovaGold has transferred its beneficial interest in the Copper Canyon Property to the Galore Creek Partnership without first honouring Copper Canyon's right of first refusal, Copper Canyon has commenced a law suit against NovaGold and NovaGold Canada seeking a declaration that the transfer is null and void and an order that NovaGold Canada notify Copper Canyon of the price and terms of such transfer so that Copper Canyon can exercise its right of first refusal.

    CATALPA Resources, Conquest Mining and gold giant Newcrest Mining have agreed to form a $1.1 billion Australian-listed gold company through a merger, asset sale and capital raising that is likely to scuttle St Barbara?s $350 million bid for Catalpa.
    
    Catalpa and Conquest will merge and purchase Newcrest’s Mt Rawdon and Cracow goldmines in Australia, in exchange for a 38 per cent stake in the new company.
    
    Shortly after the merger and sale, the new company plans to raise $150m in a pro-rata renounceable entitlement offer to “suitably capitalise the significantly enlarged merged entity, ensuring financial flexibility for development of the asset portfolio and to fund growth opportunities”.
    
    After the raising and based on recent stock prices, the market value of the company would be more than $1.1bn, the companies said.
    
    The merged company would produce 294,000 ounces of gold in 2010-11 and between 400,000 and 500,000 ounces in 2013.

    MINING titans BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto could generate about $20 billion in free cashflow this calendar year, giving each substantial "firepower" for acquisitions and capital management.
    
    Even given their "aggressive" combined $155bn in capex in the next five years, Merrill Lynch said more share buybacks and dealmaking was on the cards as the cash continued to flood in from buoyant commodity prices and growth projects.
    
    Both also had "cash rich" balance sheets, Merrill Lynch analyst Peter O'Connor said.
    
    "Rio and BHP are poised to generate significant free cashflow (FCF) over the next three to five years -- about $20bn in calendar year 2011 earnings alone," Mr O'Connor said.
    
    "With continued strong cashflow generation for both companies, we believe the potential exists for additional capital management plans, as well as mergers and acquisitions firepower, even given the aggressive capex growth."
    
    BHP is close to completing a $US10bn ($9.58bn) share buyback, while Rio is about halfway through a $5bn buyback. Both are expected to review further capital management every six months.
    
    Rio, which recently wrapped up its $3.9bn acquisition of Mozambique coking coal miner Riversdale Mining, has suggested it would continue its prudent approach to M&A, with a focus on smaller bolt-on deals.
    
    BHP has indicated a desire to grow its petroleum business, which Mr O'Connor said appeared logical given the high returns and limited risk with anti-trust concerns.
    
    The world's biggest diversified miner this year spent $US4.75bn on Chesapeake Energy's Arkansas shale gas assets in its first deal of note since a series of failed larger transactions.
    
    "In the absence of transformational M&A, we expect additional buybacks and dividends," Mr O'Connor said.
    
    Meanwhile, analysts largely brushed off BHP's $US1.1bn capex blow-out for the expansion of its Worsley Alumina refinery in Western Australia, announced on Friday, saying the amount was "immaterial".
    
    But Macquarie said the blow-out, which follows a $900 million cost blow-out at Woodside's Pluto LNG plant, could be a "clear portent of things to come" in WA, especially in LNG, given the multitude of planned projects.
    
    And Citi said there was "concern about the cost and availability of labour, contractors, equipment etc to build the plethora of iron ore and LNG projects".
    
    But Goldman Sachs argued Worsley's complexities were more akin to LNG, and that cost blow-outs at iron ore and coal projects would not necessarily occur.
    
    Shares in both miners slipped yesterday in a weak market.

    SHARES in Adamus Resources jumped yesterday after the Perth gold junior struck a deal with Canada's Endeavour Mining to form a $US600 million ($576m) West African-focused gold play, in the latest deal in the busy gold sector.
    
    Billed by both junior gold producers as a "merger of equals", the deal will see Adamus shareholders receive 0.285 Endeavour shares for each share.
    
    It would pursue an "acquisition growth strategy" eyeing near-term producers in West Africa to drive synergies.
    
    "That's not to say we wouldn't look at South America or Central America," said Adamus boss Mark Connelly, who will run the company's operational management team in Perth as chief operating officer.
    
    "The world's a big space, but clearly our patch right now is West Africa."
    
    On a fully diluted basis, shareholders of Perth-based Adamus will hold 45 per cent of Toronto-listed Endeavour, which would seek a dual listing in Sydney

    Canadian gold and silver producer AuRico Gold Inc. (AUQ-T10.99-2.73-19.90%) has reached a friendly takeover agreement to acquire Northgate Minerals Corp. (NGX-T3.910.8126.13%) in a stock-swap transaction valued at about $1.46-billion.
    
    “We're excited about this announcement given the acquisition will create a premier intermediate gold producer operating in three of the top mining jurisdictions in the world,” AuRico chief executive officer Rene Marion said Monday during a conference call with analysts.
    
    With the acquisition of Northgate, AuRico's resources will increase from 10.3 million equivalent ounces to almost 19 million gold equivalent ounces, while production will increase from 280,000 ounces to 470,000 ounces in 2011 and 730,000-plus ounces in 2013.
    
    The combined companies will have six operating gold mines by next year and three additional gold development projects in Mexico, Canada and Australia.
    
    Under terms of the deal, expected to close by the end of October subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, Northgate stockholders will get 0.365 of an AuRico share for each of their shares. The offer, a 45 per cent premium to the 20-day average stock price of the two companies, works out to about $5.01 per Northgate share.
