Thỏa thuận mua bán $RIO và glencore who giá rẻ đã bị giới hạn -- -- -- -- -- -- London- các tập tin theo dõi buổi họp sớm như mới October, according to people familiar with the matter, but the discussions did not progress to a deal.The talks between the two companies followed BHP’s failed £39bn bid for Anglo American last year, which prompted rivals to review strategic options.BHP was interested in Anglo’s copper mines, among other assets, because the metal is used in renewable energy projects and electric vehicles.Rio has been looking to boost its exposure to commodities including lithium and copper to offset weakness in the iron ore market as demand from China slows. Glencore owns stakes in two significant copper mines — Collahuasi in Chile and jun88 Antamina in Peru — that would boost its production of the metal by almost 1mn tonnes a year and offer substantial expansion capacity, according to analysts.Lawcock said the reaction from some Rio investors in Australia was one of unease given Glencore’s reputation for smart dealmaking.“Shareholders have said I don’t want any of my companies sitting across the table from Glencore,” he said.Blackwattle’s David said the fact talks had ended showed Rio remained cautious in a consolidating market. “I suspect Glencore wants a high premium,” he said. “It is a positive sign [that talks ceased] as it shows Rio is being disciplined and aware of not destroying shareholder value. It would be easy to panic.” Rio CEO Stausholm has said Rio is interested in deals that boost its growth profile, but stressed that there is no “fear of missing out” at the company, which is guarding against a move that could “derail” the business. One reason Rio is more conservative than Glencore in terms of deals is because it has been burnt by bad deals in the past, according to advisers. Rio overpaid for its $38bn purchase of Alcan in 2007, which is widely considered one of the worst mining deals ever.
