Glencore closes sale for Cobar copper mine
After selling its CSA copper mine in Cobar, New South Wales, to Metals Acquisition Corp (MAC) for $US1.1 billion ($1.64 billion) earlier this month, Glencore and MAC have officially closed the sale.
Glencore will offtake 100 per cent of the copper concentrate produced and MAC will assume ownership and the full operation of the mine.
“The acquisition of CSA represents a strong strategic fit for MAC. Our management team’s operational expertise, understanding of regional operations and relationships with local stakeholders uniquely position us to identify and realise the full potential value of the asset,” MAC chief executive officer Mick McMullen said in 2022.
“Copper is expected to play a key role in the global energy transition ‘megatrend’, with approximately one million tonnes per annum of new supply required from 2024 onwards in order to meet the surging demand forecast.”
