Kinross Gold’s Power Plant Acquisition in Brazil to Add Value

Kinross Gold’s Power Plant Acquisition in Brazil to Add Value

Along with releasing its 2017 results, Kinross Gold (KGC) also announced an acquisition of two hydroelectric power plants in Brazil from a subsidiary of Gerdau (GGB). The rationale behind this acquisition is to secure long-term, low-cost power for its Paracatu mine in Brazil. This power should lower the overall production costs for the company’s Paracatu mine over its mine-life.
