Brazilian miner Votorantim Metais files for New York, Toronto IPO
7 HOURS AGO by Andres Schipani Brazilian miner Votorantim Metais Holding on Thursday filed for an initial public offering in New York and Toronto.
The securities filing did not specify what valuation it was aiming for, but it said the net proceeds from the offering will go to the controlling shareholder, the Brazilian industrial conglomerate Votorantim, whose business interests span from zinc and cement to orange juice.
Votorantim Metais extracts copper and zinc through operations in Brazil and in neighbouring Peru.

Another $93m would go to an extension of the Vazante mine in Minas Gerais and $23m to improve the smelter’s zinc recovery rate in Cajamarquilla, Peru
