Jiangxi Copper Co., China’s largest producer of the metal, plans to raise 6.75 billion yuan ($1 billion) from exercising warrants issued in 2008 to fund projects in Peru and Afghanistan.
The funds will be used to expand production at Dexing mine in Jiangxi, the Aynak copper mine in Afghanistan and the Northern Peru Copper Corp. project, the company said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange last night.
The company said it will exercise the warrants from Sept. 27 to Oct. 8. Jiangxi Copper and partner China Minmetals Nonferrous Metals Co. bought Northern Peru Copper Corp. for C$455 million ($430 million) to develop the Galeno copper and gold deposit in Peru.
