    Freeport-McMoRan Reaches Agreement, But It’s Not What Investors Wanted

    It’s been hard to be a shareholder in copper and gold stock Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:FCX) over the last few years. The latest battle and subsequent bruising to its share price stem from issues with the Indonesian government at its largest mine — and there is finally some closure on that front. It’s even worse as it comes at a time when copper prices are starting to drop hard.

    BP Is Front-Runner to Buy BHP's U.S. Shale Unit

    BP Plc has emerged as the front-runner to buy BHP Billiton Ltd.’s onshore oil and gas operations in the U.S., according to a person familiar with the matter. The London-based oil major has made the highest offer for the assets, which BHP prefers selling in a single package, said the person, who asked to not be identified because the matter isn’t public. The Australian mining conglomerate, based in Melbourne, received initial offers about two months ago from BP, Chevron Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc, among others, people familiar with the matter said in June.

    Exclusive - BP in lead to acquire BHP's U.S. onshore shale assets: sources

    The move represents a big bet by BP on U.S. oil and gas production at a time when energy prices are rebounding. It would allow it to significantly rebalance its business with oil production, after focusing largely on natural gas assets. BHP said in August it aimed to sell onshore shale assets in the Eagle Ford, Permian, Haynesville and Fayetteville basins, which it acquired at the height of the oil boom.

    BHP, workers at Escondida mine in Chile 'far from agreement'

    The official, Carlos Allendes, said the union was preparing a $400,000 (£302,755) emergency fund to support workers if they opt to strike after the company offers its final proposal on July 24. Escondida's vice president for corporate affairs, Patricio Vilaplana, told reporters on Thursday that the company was "calm" about the negotiations and said the union had shown "good faith" at the negotiating table. Escondida's costs are just over one third of the current price of the raw material, he added, and the mine made a $483 million profit in the first quarter of this year compared to a loss of $184 million the previous year because of the strike.

    BHP pays out $211 million towards Samarco dam accident rehabilitation

    Most of the allocated sum, $158 million, would be used to fund remediation and compensation programmes identified under an agreement with Brazilian authorities, BHP said in a statement. The rest would be allocated to carrying out ongoing repair works, maintain Samarco’s facilities and supporting restart planning. The announcement from BHP comes after Samarco and parent companies Vale SA and BHP Billiton Ltd signed a deal with Brazilian authorities that settles a 20 billion reais ($5.2 billion) lawsuit related to the 2015 dam burst that killed 19 people.
