The upgrade aims to enhance production capacity and sustainability efforts amid rising global demand for copper, a critical metal in the clean energy transition.
Anglo American has won shareholder approval to spin off its platinum arm, Valterra Platinum, effective May 31, 2025, as part of a major restructuring.

Zashvin is strengthening its position in Queensland’s coal sector by acquiring Anglo American’s minority stake in the Jellinbah East and Lake Vermont steelmaking coal mines.
