Diversified major Anglo American has rejected a revised proposal put forward by BHP, which valued the UK-headquartered miner at about £34-billion.
The structure of the revised proposal, unveiled on Monday, remained unchanged from the previously rejected proposal of last month. It comprises an all-share offer for Anglo, with a requirement to complete two separate demergers of the South African units, Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) and Kumba Iron Ore.
The all-share offer and required demergers will be inter-conditional.
