Report summary
On 8 November, Australia’s Stanmore Resources entered into an agreement to acquire BHP's 80% stake in BMC. BMC comprises the South Walker Creek ultra-low-vol PCI mine, the Poitrel semi-hard coking coal and high-vol PCI mine coal along with an undeveloped premium mid-vol hard coking coal project, Wards Well. Consideration for the deal comprises US$1.2 billion in cash with an additional contingent payment of up to US$150 million subject to coal prices. The acquisition is a bold bet by Stanmore to transform itself into a mid-tier metallurgical coal producer, ranking 7th largest among seaborne exporters by 2023.
