NO OBJECTION RAISED TO XSTRATA'S ACQUISITION OF MIM HOLDINGS
I have decided to raise no objections under the Government's foreign investment
policy to a proposal by Xstrata Plc to acquire, through a wholly owned subsidiary,
all the issued share capital of MIM Holdings Ltd.
Under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act, proposals will be approved
unless contrary to the national interest.
