CAPE TOWN, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Vedanta Base Metals CEO Chris Griffith said on Wednesday the company is talking to a range of financing partners to raise money for a restart of its Konkola Copper Mines unit in Zambia, including the sale of a minority stake in KCM.

Vedanta will remain the majority shareholder in the unit if a minority stake is sold, Griffith said in an interview on the sidelines of an African mining conference in Cape Town. (Reporting by Felix Njini and Veronica Brown; Editing by Jan Harvey and Louise Heavens)
