Today former Platinum Incorporated acting-CEO Floyd. G. Murphy sold the controlling shares in the raw ore mining company to Doe Industries for a whopping $15,000,000,000 Sirian Credits. This leaves Doe Industries with a continued monopoly on raw ore operations within Liberty and in a position to improve national exports of the materials with little extra operational costs.
In the amicable merger, Doe Industries now own and operate Rutherford Station and Platinum Incorporated mining facilities in the Alberta system as well as their mobile mining refinery, Platinum|-Maple.Leaf, a Barge class variant 2.
It is expected the sale will take days to complete and with other pressing projects all around Liberty and Sirius, we can expect to see a rise in commercial activity in the area around the Alberta system.
This has been a news report from Jenny Craig, Liberty Stock Exchange news correspondent.
