The metals empire owned by the industrialist Sanjeev Gupta said it has agreed terms on new financing for a key part of its business located in South Australia, potentially staving off a threat to thousands of jobs.
GFG Alliance said on Wednesday that Liberty Primary Metals Australia (LPMA), which includes a mining and steel business in Whyalla and a coalmine at Tahmoor, had agreed a deal to refinance loans previously extended by Greensill, the financial firm that collapsed into administration in March. It also said it would consider selling some parts of the business.
