Sumatra Copper to sell 20 pct Indonesia stake

By Ruli Setiawan

Australian-listed miner Sumatra Copper & Gold is to sell a stake of up to 20 percent to meet Indonesian foreign ownership requirements introduced this year, a senior executive said on Tuesday.

Indonesia, the seventh largest gold producer last year, is looking to limit foreign ownership in mines to no more than 49 percent after 10 years of production.
