An offer by Equinox Minerals Ltd (EQN.AX) to buy Toronto-listed Lundin Mining Corp (LUN.TO) is worth more than just the C$4.8 billion bid price ($4.94 billion), the chief executive of the Australian miner says. "It's not just the premium, it's the far better growth profile that we're offering," Equinox CEO Craig Williams told Reuters on Monday on the sidelines of the Prospectors and Developers (PDAC) conference in Toronto. Equinox launched its takeover bid for Lundin on Feb. 28, and is attempting to thwart an acquisition of the company by Canadian rival Inmet (IMN.TO).
