Glencore is set to unveil a deal to bring in at least $500 million as part of its frantic efforts to slash its debt.
The commodities giant is in advanced talks on a "streaming" deal under which it would hand future precious metal production from a mine in Chile to American gold specialist Franco-Nevada in exchange for an upfront payment. The agreement could be unveiled as early as this week.
It is part of a $13 billion fundraising campaign that Glencore launched last year to scotch concerns over its $30 billion net debt.
Glencore shares plunged 70 percent last year, making it the worst-performing stock in London's FTSE 100 after rival Anglo American.
Miners and oil companies have been hit hard by the collapse in global raw material prices after a decade-long commodities boom came to a halt.
Direct Ownership and Storage of Precious Metals
Outside the Banking System in Zurich and Singapore
Goldbroker.com is a precious metals investment company that enables investors to own and store gold directly in their own name (no mutualized ownership) in Zurich and Singapore.
Goldbroker's clients are not exposed to any counterparty risks. They own gold and silver in their own names (the ownership certificate cites the name of the investor and serial number of his bars) and they have storage accounts opened in their own name as well. So Goldbroker.com's storage partner knows the exact identity of each investor. Goldbroker.com doesn't store in the name of its clients; rather, Goldbroker's clients store personally. All investors have direct access to their gold and silver bars.
Goldbroker.com was launched in 2011 so that investors would avoid any counterparty risk when investing in physical gold and silver.
