       Feb 4 (Reuters) - Australia's Predictive Discovery  PDI.AX  said on Tuesday that China's
Zijin Mining  601899.SS  will invest A$24.1 million ($15.00 million), while Lundin family will
invest A$45.1 million in the gold explorer, to acquire a 3.5% and a 6.5% stake, respectively.
    Predictive said it received firmed commitments from both parties to raise a total of A$69.2
million at an issue price of A$0.265 per share, the same as the company's last close on Jan. 31.

    Lundin family is a majority shareholder in Lundin Group, which manages public companies,
such as Canada's Lundin Mining Corp  LUN.TO , that are focused on the minerals, metals,
renewables and energy sectors.
