China Gold sees Canada’s Iamgold as good fit -executive

Canadian miner Iamgold would fit well with China Gold International Resource Corp’s acquisition strategy as the Chinese State-run company seeks to buy producing gold mines, an executive with the overseas arm of China National Gold Group said on Wednesday.

China Gold is aggressively looking to add to its project pipeline, and Iamgold would be a good fit, Jerry Xie, executive vice president, told Reuters on the sidelines of the Denver Gold Forum.
