Itochu to buy 15 pct in Kalahari Minerals - Nikkei
Thu Mar 25, 2010 6:18pm GMT
March 26 (Reuters) - Japanese trading firm Itochu Corp (8001.T) will buy a 15 percent stake for 8.5 billion yen ($92.28 million) in London-based mining company Kalahari Minerals Plc (KAH.L), the Nikkei business daily said.
The move will give Itochu an effective stake of 6 percent in Rossing South, a 60 billion yen uranium mining project Kalahari is undertaking in Namibia, one of the world's richest sources of the radioactive metal, the paper said.
Itochu's investment in Kalahari Minerals is expected to ensure a stable supply of uranium for Japan.
Kalahari Minerals is the top shareholder in Extract Resources (EXT.AX)(EXT.TO), the Australia-based sole stakeholder in Rossing South.
The deal comes as a number of countries, including the United States, are planning new nuclear power plants, it said.
Production is slated to begin in 2013 at 5,700 tons a year, the equivalent of more than 10 percent of the uranium mined worldwide in 2008, the paper said.
Output could eventually reach 220,000 tons, making the area the world's second-most productive source of uranium, behind a deposit in Australia, the paper said.
Itochu ranks second in the world in annual uranium sales, with about 4,000 tons.
Rival trading companies Sumitomo Corp (8053.T), Marubeni Corp (8002.T), Mitsubishi Corp (8058.T) and Mitsui & Co (8031.T) are involved in uranium mining projects in Kazakhstan, Australia and other countries, the paper said. ($1=92.11 Yen)
