Peru zinc miner Volcan to avoid debt haircut, new owner says

Volcan Cia Minera plans to make a series of debt payments through August and to refinance later obligations without imposing losses, said the head of its new controlling shareholder, dismissing speculation over a default or restructuring at the Peruvian zinc miner.

“Absolutely, categorically no haircut is necessary,” said Jose Luis Manzano, the head of Integra Capital. “It’s just changing the maturities and that’s it. The future cash flow doesn’t justify a haircut.”
