A consortium led by PT Bumi Resources (BUMI.JK) signed an
agreement late Monday to buy additional 14% stake in gold miner PT
Newmont Nusa Tenggara, or PTNNT, for $493.64 million.
Heriyadi Rahmat, a director of the consortium called PT Multi
Daerah Maju Bersaing, told reporters that the consortium is also
interested in buying an additional 7% stake in the unit of the
Denver-based Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM), which has to be offered to
local investors next year.
Monday's deal came after the Multi Daerah consortium last week
concluded a purchase of a 10% stake in PTNNT.
