Cuba Willing to Sustain Mining Collaboration with Sherritt International
What happened
Cuba's Minister of Energy and Mines, Vicente de la O Levy, stated the Cuban government is willing to sustain mining collaboration with Sherritt International. This openness is contingent upon a potential deal that would introduce U.S. capital into Sherritt International. Sherritt International holds a 50% stake in the Moa joint venture.

Why it matters
The Minister clarified that any resumption of production at Moa would require addressing current operational challenges. The collaboration is tied to a preliminary agreement where Gillon Capital, a firm linked to Ray Washburne, seeks to acquire 55% of Sherritt International's common shares.
Ray Washburne's group, representing Freeport-McMoRan, is targeting a stake in a mining operation located in Holguín Province, Cuba.
