    SHANGHAI -- Zinc miner Perilya Ltd will pay two clients $US55 million ($A68.8 million) in cash to end a contracted silver sale, and retain ownership of 11.2 million ounces of silver as prices rise, its Chinese shareholder said.

    Shenzhen Zhongjin Lingnan Nonfemet , which owns a 50.1 per cent stake in Perilya Mining, said $US50 million ($A62.6 million) of the compensation would come from loans from the Bank of China, with Zhongjin's guarantee.

    Perilya would pay the remaining $US5 million ($A6.26 million) from its own cash supply, Zhongjin said.

    Zhongjin said the deal would reinforce Perilya's profitability as international silver prices have almost doubled since August 2005, when Perilya contracted to sell a total of 17.2 million ounces of silver.

    About six million ounces had already been delivered.

    Trade in Perilya shares was suspended on Wednesday, pending a company announcement.
