BHP's (NYSE:BHP ) A$8.4B (~US$5.8B) takeover offer Oz Minerals (OTCPK:OZMLF ) was rejected early Monday as significantly undervaluing the Australian-based copper and gold mining company.
Oz Minerals (OTCPK:OZMLF ) said it received the unsolicited proposal on August 5 to acquire its shares for A$25/share (US$17.30), a 32% premium to the stock's Friday closing price in Sydney.
Oz Minerals (OTCPK:OZMLF ) operates the West Musgrave project in Western Australia which includes nickel-copper deposits, while BHP (BHP ) owns the Nickel West mine-to-market business in the state.
BHP (BHP ) recently reported Q4 production of iron ore from Western Australia fell slightly from a year ago but said it expects to increase production of commodities in the year ahead .
