    Fortescue soars amid China talk

    June 11, 2009 - 11:23AM

    Fortescue Metals shares jumped almost 20 per cent in early trade amid market talk that Australia's third-largest iron ore producer could be the focus of Chinese bid interest.

    Fortescue shares climbed as much as 18.9 per cent to an eight-month high of $4.27 a share.

    The stock has soared 52 per cent since Friday, when global miner Rio Tinto scrapped its planned $US19.5 billion tie-up with China's Chinalco, fuelling speculation that China would now look elsewhere to secure iron ore reserves.
