"First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (FM.TO) said it's confident other investors will follow the lead of Inmet Mining Corp.'s (IMN.TO) biggest shareholder and back its C$5.1 billion ($5.2 billion) hostile bid," Bloomberg reported.
It said: "Leucadia National Corp., which owns a 16% stake in Inmet, said yesterday it plans to tender shares in the Canadian mining company in support of First Quantum's takeover proposal. First Quantum took the C$72-a-share offer in cash and stock straight to Inmet investors on Jan. 9 after twice being snubbed by the Toronto-based company's board."
Inmet is down 27 cents at $71.65 but above a day low $71.53. FM is flat at $21.05.
