The transfer, which was first flagged in September last year with no value placed on the deal, will see NFC take control of the group`s copper and cobalt assets in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
NFC is seeking to raise up to 3.2-billion yuan via a share issue to fund some of the Africa projects.
