zijin interest confirmation?

Its one thing to see the media comment on something however when you see the company's own website acknowledging the media rumour is another.

Here is the article:

China’s Zijin Eyes Stake in Nkwe Platinum Project
20 Mar 2013

From Wall Street Jounal

China’s second-largest gold producer by output Zijin Mining Group Co. is among parties in talks to acquire a stake of 50% or more in mining assets belonging to Nkwe Platinum Ltd., a person familiar with the matter said Monday.

Zijin may take a minority interest in Nkwe through a convertible note worth more than 10 million Australian dollars (US$10.2 million) for exclusive rights to develop Nkwe’s Garatau platinum project in South Africa’s Bushveld region. The mining project could cost around A$600 million to build and once exclusivity is achieved through the conversion of the note to equity, talks around a joint venture are likely to evolve, the person said.

Nkwe entered its shares into a voluntary suspension early last month, citing the finalization of a transaction which would result in the recapitalization of the company.

A spokesman for Nkwe declined to comment and a spokesman for Zijin was unavailable for comment.

Zijin’s existing Australian interests include a majority stake in Perth-based gold miner Norton Gold Fields Ltd. which it holds through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Jinyu (H.K.) International Mining Company Ltd.

====================================

If this was a BS rumour I cannot see this being put up on Zijin's own website.
