UAE giant eyes majority stake in Vedanta’s Zambian mines in expansion drive

Reuters exclusively reported that the mining investment arm of Abu Dhabi’s most valuable company has offered to buy a majority stake in Vedanta Resources’ Zambian copper assets in its drive to build an African copper mining empire.

Market Impact

The deals spree is part of a push by oil-rich United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia to secure critical metal supplies from Africa, a move that could also help them participate in the transition to green energy.
