SYDNEY, June 9: Self-made Australian mining tycoon Nathan Tinkler is to move to Singapore hoping to increase his wealth by being closer to Asia's money markets, reports said on Saturday.

Tinkler, who has built a coal fortune of Aus$915 million at the age of just 36, was quitting his native Newcastle, north of Sydney, to pursue his interests in Asia, his spokesman told Fairfax newspapers.—AFP
