Copper miner Equinox Minerals will consider a $6.5 billion takeover bid from China's Minmetals Resources and will comment later after further consideration, the firm said in a statement. "The board of directors of Equinox will be meeting to consider this unsolicited proposal, and will comment further following careful consideration of the terms and implied value for Equinox," the company said in a statement. Minmetals said earlier Monday it would offer C$7 per share for Equinox on the condition that the target company dropped its offer for Lundin . (Reporting by Michael Smith; Editing by Balazs Koranyi)
