A Brazilian court blocked on Tuesday Canadian firm Equinox Gold from transferring mineral rights for gold mines it sold in the Latin American country to Chinese metals miner and processor CMOC Group, according to a court decision.
Equinox Gold concluded the sale of gold assets in Brazil to CMOC earlier this year.
The judge blocked the transfer of rights for assets located in the northeastern Bahia state, after complaints from local state-run firm CBPM.
