Shandong Gold Offers to Buy Jaguar Mining for $1 Billion
SHANGHAI—State-owned Shandong Gold Group Co. of China has offered to buy Brazilian gold miner Jaguar Mining Inc. for $1 billion, a person familiar with the matter said Wednesday.
The deal is the latest reminder of demand in China for the world's commodities. A deal in gold suggests that demand extends beyond resources China lacks, such as soybeans and iron ore, because China is the world's biggest gold producer.
