-- CITIC Resources (HKG:1205) plans to seek shareholder approval for a mandate to dispose of its remaining stake in global aluminum producer Alcoa, according to a Wednesday Hong Kong bourse filing.

Assuming all holdings are sold at the minimum selling price of $50 per share, the aggregate consideration would be about $112.2 million, or HK$874.9 million.
