That is until this morning, before this piece from AP: Leucadia National Corp., a holding company for a wide range of businesses, said Tuesday it has agreed to sell its remaining stake in the Cobre Las Cruces copper mining project to Canada's Inmet Mining Corp. for about $480 million.
Under the deal, Leucadia will get $150 million in cash and 5.4 million in Inmet shares which the company values at about $330 million. An affiliate of Inmet will also take on $72 million in Las Cruces debt as part of the deal.
Leucadia expects to report a gain once the deal closes of about $280 million based on Inmet's closing share price on Monday.
The $280 million gain is no trivial amount for Leucadia, a company has a market cap of $6.3 billion.
