Anglo American plc has entered into a Share Sale Agreement (SSA) with Batchfire Resources Pty Ltd to sell its 100% interest in the Callide thermal coal mine in Queensland, Australia.

Callide consists of an opencast thermal coal mine and associated processing infrastructure that produced 7.6 million t of coal in 2014 (and 5.6 million t in the first nine months of 2015), the majority of which (4.7 million t in 2014) was sold to two adjacent power plants under long-term contracts.

The transaction will be carried out via a sale of shares in the subsidiary companies holding Anglo American's interest in Callide.

The transaction will remain subject to several conditions precedent, and its terms are confidential.
