Oxiana is an international mining and exploration company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.
Shareholder and Court approvals for a merger between Oxiana and fellow Australian based miner Zinifex Limited were obtained on 16th and 20th June respectively. The new Company, which will be re-named OZ Minerals – drawing on the heritage of both Oxiana and Zinifex – subject to the approval of shareholders at an extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 18 July 2008, is now Australia’s third largest diversified mining company and the world’s second largest producer of zinc as well as a substantial producer of copper, lead, gold and silver.
With a strong production base, attractive development pipeline, prospective exploration portfolio and a sound financial position, the merged Company is well-positioned to succeed, especially in the current environment defined by growing world-wide demand for all basic commodities.
The company currently has five mining operations located in Australia and Asia, three new mining projects in development and a large portfolio of exploration projects throughout Australia, Asia and North America.
