2003-07-16 12:11 (New York)



INMET MINING CORP ("IMN-T")
NORANDA INC ("NRD-TDNPX3")
- Inmet Announces Sale of Antamina Net Proceeds Interest to Noranda


Inmet Mining Corporation announced that it has sold its 3.3 per cent
net proceeds interest ("NPI") relating to the Antamina zinc and copper mine
in Peru to Noranda Inc. for proceeds of U.S.$22.5 million. The sale was
completed under a previously announced put- call agreement entered into
between the two companies in February 2002.
The full amount of these proceeds will be recognized as income in the
third quarter. Inmet has sufficient tax losses to offset any taxes that
would otherwise be payable. Inmet will use the funds received to pay down
the remaining U.S.$19.5 million balance outstanding under its U.S.$40
million revolving credit facility.
Richard Ross, Inmet's President and Chief Executive Officer said, "We
are pleased to report that the value of the Antamina NPI has now been fully
realized. The sale enhances our continued ability to finance our growth
strategy".
Inmet is a Canadian based international mining company. Inmet's mining
operations and investments produce copper, zinc and gold, and Inmet's
growth strategy is focused on finding quality base metal reserves. Inmet's
operating base consists of four competitive mining operations: Cayeli,
Pyhasalmi, Troilus and Ok Tedi.
