"The Cooperative advantage of doing business"
Thank you for the invitation to open this seminar and for the opportunity to welcome to New Zealand all of the representatives of cooperatives from the Asia Pacific region who are here today. We all know of the history of the co-operative movement and its great traditions of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. Modern co-operatives have built on those traditions, and have become a major feature of many economies. For New Zealand, co-operatives are an integral part of our economic landscape, however in order to meet today's challenges co-operatives need to be able to expand internationally and to further develop their ability to export. This often requires an increase in the ability of co-operatives to access capital, which needs to be balanced against maintaining their special ownership structure and characteristics.
Zinifex Says A$2.2 Bln Can Be Deployed To Grow Mining Business Or Returned To Shareholders; Warns Of Lower Profit In ...
(RTTNews) - Sunday, Australia-based zinc and copper miner Zinifex Limited (ZFEXF.PK) said that it has more than A$2.2 billion, which could be deployed to grow its mining business or to return to shareholders. The company said its primary focus while considering possible acquisitions that met its growth criteria was to deliver shareholder return. Zinifex added that it has a clear strategy to grow its mining business, primarily in the metals it currently produces, being zinc and copper, as well as lead, silver and gold. Looking ahead to fiscal year 2008, Zinifex said that lower zinc prices, a stronger Australian dollar as compared to the U.S. dollar, and higher costs would lower revenue and profit, even as cost pressures persisted. Zinifex noted that 2007 was another outstanding financial year for it, with a profit of A$1.3 billion and the successful merger of its smelter business with that of Umicore to create Nyrstar, the world's largest producer of zinc metal, in addition to subsequent sale of 87% of Nyrstar shares in one of the largest IPOs in Europe.
