Abu Dhabi's International Resources Holding (IRH) has made an offer of over $1bn to acquire a 51% stake in Vedanta Resources' Zambian copper assets. IRH aims to expand its copper mining business in Africa and is already planning to bid for a stake in Lubambe Copper Mine. The offer is non-binding and talks are ongoing, with Vedanta potentially reluctant to give up a majority interest. UAE and Saudi Arabia aim to secure metal supplies from Africa to participate in the green energy transition.

Vedanta Resources has secured the funds needed to pay off the creditors of its Zambian copper mine, Konkola Copper Mines (KCM). The company, led by billionaire Anil Agarwal, will have approximately $250 million to settle its debts. Vedanta regained control of KCM last year after a five-year battle with the Zambian government.
