Orion makes advances in acquiring control of Okiep copper project

Australia-headquartered Orion Minerals has made progress with acquiring a controlling interest in the Okiep copper project, in South Africa’s Northern Cape province. Orion and other relevant parties, barring the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) of South Africa, which is still in the process of finalising internal approval, have signed addenda to amend the agreements that will affect Orion’s controlling interest in the project.
