BHP Group Ltd., the world’s leading mining company, is seeking to sell its Brazilian copper and gold assets acquired through the Oz Minerals Ltd. takeover in May 2023. This decision follows a strategic review of these assets, and BHP has hired Banco Santander SA to advise on the potential sale. The acquisition of Oz Minerals was BHP’s largest deal in over a decade, aimed at increasing its exposure to materials essential for clean energy and electric vehicles. Despite this, BHP is focusing on developing a copper hub in South Australia and has no plans to sell its stake in Samarco Mineracao SA, an iron ore producer jointly owned with Vale SA.
