As quoted in the market report:
Meanwhile, other conditions precedent set by Mofcom included that Glencore would have to sell all of its post-merger ownership interest in the Las Bambas copper project, in Peru –currently being developed by Xstrata – to a buyer approved by Mofcom. The transaction would have to occur before September 30, 2014, for not less than the predetermined price.
