EBX Ltd.'s CCX Carvão da Colômbia S.A. (BOVESPA:CCXC3) is planning to sell assets. The company is negotiating a potential sale of its two open-pit mining projects in Colombia. On August 14, 2013, the company stated, “Negotiations are under way regarding a potential sale of the two open-pit mine projects, Cañaverales and Papayal, both of them held by (our) subsidiary CCX Colombia SA.” The news report added that no binding contract or agreement has been signed yet by the company or any of its subsidiaries.

CCX made no mention of its San Juan underground mine. EBX stated that the negotiations, which CCX said are part of its strategy of ‘constantly assessing business opportunities in its quest to add value for its shareholders', add to discussions held by other companies owned by EBX. EBX has been going through a debt-restructuring process as a result of financing issues and a huge decrease in the share values of the group's companies.

Eike Batista, who controls EBX has also been looking to sell shares and assets of some of the companies.
