Canadian miner HudBay Minerals said it would sell its Fenix ferro-nickel project in Guatemala to Solway Group for $170 million in cash.
The Fenix project does not fit HudBay's strategy of focusing on volcanogenic massive sulfide and porphyry deposits, the company said in a statement.
HudBay said Friday that it expects to record a non-cash charge of about $212.7 million related to its investment in Fenix, in its financial results for the three months ended June 30. Solway will pay the company $140 million in cash at the closing of the deal and $30 million after certain conditions are satisfied, the company said. HudBay expects the transaction to close in the third quarter of 2011.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
