Date: 20 January 1998
By Bloomberg News

Westmin Resources Ltd., a Canadian mining company, said yesterday that it had not been able to attract takeover offers topping Boliden Ltd.'s hostile bid of $809 million (Canadian), or $562 million (United States), in stock and debt, and its financial adviser warned that its shares would probably fall if it was not bought. Westmin has searched for a rival bidder since last year when Boliden, based in Toronto, offered to pay $5.40 (Canadian) a share and assume $228 million in debt. Yesterday, Westmin said its board would not make a recommendation on the offer, which expires Wednesday. Its shares closed at $5.30. Westmin, a target because of its low-cost Lomas Bayas copper deposit, said Boliden's bid did not fairly value the company.
