Anglo American divests Queensland coal assets for $5.

Anglo American divests Queensland coal assets for $5.43 billion. The mining giant has sold five steelmaking coal mines in central Queensland to UK-based Dhilmar Ltd, including interests in Moranbah North, Grosvenor, Capcoal, Roper Creek, Dawson South and Theodore South operations. The deal encompasses the town of Middlemount with its housing, retail, childcare and medical facilities. The transaction follows the collapse of an earlier $5.43 billion agreement with American miner Peabody Energy, which invoked a material adverse change clause after operational incidents. Anglo American remains in arbitration with Peabody over the failed deal. Dhilmar brings extensive experience operating major mining assets across Southeast Asia and Canada.
