Wednesday, January 23, 10:42 AM In its expected rejection of First Quantum's (FQVLF.PK) $5.1B hostile bid, Inmet Mining (IEMMF.PK) disputed First's assertion it could realize enormous cost savings at Cobre Panama by using its internal project team and hiring far fewer contractors. “To suggest you can take an engineering management component out and self-perform on a project of that size is reckless,” Inmet CEO Jochen Tilk says.
