嘉能可与中国国际基金公司合作

A publicity-shy group of Hong Kong investors that is emerging as a new force in African natural resources secured its latest alliance with a big commodities group on Thursday when Glencoreagreed to buy iron ore from its mine in Guinea.

一家很少在媒体上抛头露面的香港公司正逐渐成为非洲自然资源开发领域的一支新军。本周四，大宗商品交易商嘉能可(Glencore)与这家公司建立合作关系，将从后者位于几内亚的矿源购买铁矿石。

The Swiss commodities trader signed an off-take agreement for 50 per cent of the output from the Forecariah iron ore prospect attributable to Bellzone, an Aim-quoted junior that is developing the mine with Hong Kong-based China International Fund. CIF will also have the option to sell its share of iron ore to Glencore.

总部位于瑞士的嘉能可签署了一项“承购(off-take)协议，将购买几内亚福雷卡里亚(Forecariah)铁矿预期产量中归于Bellzone的那部分的50%。该矿由英国另类投资市场(Aim)上市矿企Bellzone和位于香港的中国国际基金有限公司（China International Fund，简称CIF）共同开发。CIF还有权将归于自己的那部分铁矿石出售给嘉能可。

Nik Zuks, Bellzone chief executive, said the agreement with Glencore would last for the life of the mine, covering eight years’ worth of resources. It would be accompanied by a $15m prepayment facility, Bellzone said.
