Metals miner James Bay to enter Nigeria oil market

Metals miner James Bay Resources Ltd signed two separate agreements as it looks for acquisitions to enter the Nigerian oil and gas market, by investing up to $32.3 million and a third of its stock, sending its shares up 27 percent. James Bay, which has mining rights in the James Bay Lowlands property in Canada, signed an agreement with D&H Solutions AS to partner it in the search for potential targets and develop any acquired assets. For a 50 percent interest in their venture, James Bay will pay D&H -- a partnership between Hemla of Norway and Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering -- up to $32 million in three tranches at various stages of the acquisition process.
