Western Copper & Gold Corp. said Tuesday its partner Rio
Tinto PLC will participate in a strategic investment and maintain
its interest in the company.
The company will issue 878,809 new shares to the
Anglo-Australian mining giant and receive 2.3 million Canadian
dollars ($1.7 million), which will be used to support Western
Copper's copper-gold project in the Yukon.
In late March, Western Copper announced that Mitsubishi
Materials Corp. made a strategic investment in the company for
C$21.3 million, noting that Rio Tinto had the right to participate
as well to maintain its current ownership of 7.84%.
