Deze is van 8 november, de chinezen zijn ook geinteresseerd om een aandeel in SQM te kopen. Dus met het afvlakken van de Lithium prijs zal het wel meevallen.
Kan zomaar zijn dat er een nieuwe groot aandeelhouder bij AMG erbij komt.
Report: Rio Tinto considering $5B stake in lithium producer SQM
Nov. 8, 2017 9:42 AM ET|By: Carl Surran, SA News Editor
Rio Tinto (RIO +0.4%) is close to buying a 32% stake in Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile (SQM +0.2%), one of the world’s largest producers of lithium, from Potash Corp. (POT -1.8%), the Australian Financial Review reports, citing Chilean publication El Mostrador.
Rio's main exposure to lithium is through its 100%-owned lithium and borates mineral project in Serbia, which is still in the early stages of development, but SQM produced r~44M metric tons of lithium carbonate last year and is developing projects in Chile and Australia.
China's Sinochem also has been reported as being interested in buying a stake in SQM in recent weeks.
