Rio Tinto and Canada's Ivanhoe are locked in a Mongolian stand-off over a copper and gold deposit near the Chinese border with a capital cost of $4.6bn. The dispute, as convoluted as the plot of Sir Walter Scott's novel Ivanhoe, revolves around how easily Rio can take a majority interest in the Vancouver-based miner, so securing control of its Oyu Tolgoi deposit. So far, Rio has financed the project in return for a growing stake in Ivanhoe. It holds about 30 per cent, but is capped by a standstill at 47 per cent until next year.
力拓(Rio Tinto)与加拿大艾芬豪(Ivanhoe)围绕一处蒙古铜金矿的争执，陷入了僵局。该矿靠近manbetx3.0 边境，开发的资本成本为46亿美元。争执的焦点是力拓获得艾芬豪的多数权益、进而控制其奥尤陶勒盖(Oyu Tolgoi)矿的难易程度。较量之复杂，不亚于沃尔特•司各特爵士(Sir Walter Scott)的小说《艾凡赫》(Ivanhoe)的情节。迄今为止，力拓一直为该项目提供资金，作为交换，该公司对艾芬豪的持股比例不断提升。目前力拓持股30%，但根据一项暂停收购协议，力拓在明年10月之前的持股上限为47%。
