A Chinese mining group which is on America’s forced labour watchlist has announced its acquisition of a Canadian mining company in the days following Mark Carney's visit to China.
Zijin Gold International, one of the world's largest gold miners with operations across nine countries, will run Canada’s Allied Gold’s mines in Africa following an all-cash deal for $4.2bn (£3.07bn) as the Chinese firm ramps up its global expansion against the skyrocketing prices of the yellow metal.
