Updated 2026-06-17 23:06

Dhilmar struck a deal to buy Anglo American’s portfolio of steelmaking coal mines in Australia for up to about $3.9 billion in cash, set to close by early 2027, pending regulatory clearances and conditions. This sale accompanies Anglo American’s retreat from steelmaking coal, as part of a portfolio simplification ahead of a merger, and includes several Queensland mines plus a company town transfer, Middlemount. Dhilmar is also reported to buy Newmont's Éléonore mine in Canada for $795 million, expected to close in early 2025, marking Dhilmar's involvement in strategic asset reshuffles in both regions.
