Better to Sell Assets..,...than buy assets.
The Lundin’s got to be billionaires by selling Tanganyika Oil (TYK) for C$2 billion and Red Back Mining (RBL) for C$7 billion. The Chinese Sinopec Petroleum which bought TYK had buyer’s remorse and paid dearly for a bad deal in acquiring oil fields in Syria. Corollary, Kinross which bought RBL had to write off pretty much all their investment due to uneconomic gold production. So, Lundin was lucky to sell off two worthless assets for a total of C$9. This goes to the dictum “Buyer beware”.
