According to JCK News, Botswana's mining minister Moagi told local parliament that the government is looking into increasing a planned buy-in of HB Antwerp, originally stated to be 24% for US$65m, implying HB Antwerp's valuation stood at US$278m at that time. According to Moagi, that same amount of investment would now warrant a 49.9% stake, citing the current depressed market as a reason for HB Antwerp's value to have decreased.
