Deals CongoShareholders of Lundin voted 99.7 percent in favor of the friendly all-stock takeover, which at Monday's prices valued Lundin at about C$710 million ($582 million). HudBay was up 38 Canadian cents at C$4.75.Analysts are also convinced the takeover will be scuttled. Desjardins Securities analyst John Hughes reiterated his C$5.90 12-month target for HudBay shares on Monday, saying in a note the deal "has no real possibility of proceeding under the current structure."UBS Securities raised its target on HudBay by 67 percent to C$7, cut Lundin by 42 percent to 90 Canadian cents and called the decision "mauled", although it allowed that renegotiation was possible at a much lower price.Speaking after the shareholder meeting, Lundin Chief Executive Phil Wright refused to comment on the OSC decision and said the company would make a decision on how to proceed in the coming days."When I've had a chance to talk with counsel, talk with my board and talk to HudBay, I'll give some more thought to those issues," he told reporters.While HudBay shareholders are clearly happy with the idea that the deal could die, the company's leadership may not survive the next few months.HudBay has already complied with shareholder requests to hold a meeting in March to consider turfing the board, and SRM and Corriente were to appear in court on Monday to try to force HudBay to move the meeting up before the Lundin deal closes.Opponents of the plan have painted it as a reverse takeover by cash-strapped Lundin, which wants access to HudBay's strong balance sheet, and whose shareholders would control about half the combined company.HudBay has said the deal would strengthen its operations by adding Lundin's mostly Europe-based mines, and its 24.75 percent stake in the massive Tenke-Fungurume copper-cobalt deposit in the Democratic Republic of Congo.In a separate release, Lundin said the Congo project would likely start producing copper cathode in the second quarter, and could hit full commercial production in the second half of 2009 The development's majority owner is U.S. miner Freeport-McMoRan (FCX.N).($1$1.22 Canadian)(Additional reporting by Ka Yan Ng; editing by Rob Wilson) Deals Congo.
