DAKAR, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Congo state miner Gecamines said on Wednesday it is "strongly opposed" to Lundin Mining LUN.TO selling a 24 percent stake in the Tenke copper mine to a Chinese company, arguing that it has a preemptive right to buy the stake.
Canada's Lundin announced on Tuesday it had agreed to sell its stake in the project in the Democratic Republic of Congo to Chinese private equity firm BHR Partners for about $1.14 billion in cash.
