The board of Anglo American has confirmed the recent press reports and said it is has received an unsolicited, non-binding, and highly conditional combination proposal from BHP Group Limited.

The proposal comprises an all-share offer for Anglo American by BHP and would be preceded by separate demergers by Anglo American of its entire shareholdings in Anglo American Platinum Limited and Kumba Iron Ore Limited to Anglo American shareholders. The two parts of the proposal would be inter-conditional.

The board is currently reviewing this proposal with its advisers.

There can be no certainty that any offer will be made nor as to the terms on which any such offer might be made.

The New York Times reported: Mining giant BHP offered to buy longtime rival Anglo American for almost $39 billion in a potential megadeal that could reshape the global mining industry.

Anglo American is a leading global mining company and its products are the essential ingredients in almost every aspect of modern life.

With people at the heart of their business, they use innovative practices and the latest technologies to discover new resources and to mine, process, move, and market products to their customers — safely and sustainably. As a responsible producer of diamonds (through De Beers), copper, platinum group metals, premium quality iron ore and metallurgical coal for steelmaking, and nickel — with crop nutrients in development — they are committed to being carbon neutral across our operations by 2040. More broadly, their Sustainable Mining Plan commits them to a series of stretching goals to ensure they work towards a healthy environment, creating thriving communities, and building trust as a corporate leader. They work together with business partners and diverse stakeholders to unlock enduring value from precious natural resources for the benefit of the communities and countries in which they operate.
