BHPB Posted: Wed, 07 May 2008 [miningmx.com] -- Chinese investors are certain eventually to buy a stake in mining group BHP Billiton, Reuters reported Chief Executive Marius Kloppers saying on Wednesday. "Various parts of China that have got surplus funds, capital to deploy, are deploying that across a wide range of things in the world," he told a investor briefing. "I have no doubt that one day we will see them show up on our register. I just hope that the market takes that for what it is at that point in time, a genuine investor." He declined to comment on rumours that Chinese investors were ready to buy a stake in the firm, the world's largest mining group. In February, Chinese state-owned mining group Chinalco shook up the mining sector by making a surprise raid on Rio Tinto, buying a nine percent stake for $14bn.
