Synopsis

Glencore (LSE:GLEN), a Switzerland-based company from the minerals sector, is said to have abandoned the sale of Chilean mine Lomas Bayas, reported Reuters on 11 August 2016, citing source familiar with the matter.

According to the report, the decision was motivated by the lack of attractive bids for the asset, which Glencore hoped to sell in USD 500m.
