Chapter 459: Look Who's Awesome!
Anglo American, commonly known as Anglo American Mining, is a large mining multinational group that can sit side by side with BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Vale. Perhaps in terms of group size, Anglo American is not as large as BHP and Rio Tinto, but in terms of influence, BHP and Rio Tinto have a big gap between BHP and Rio Tinto.
As a long-established British mining group headquartered in London, Anglo American now has nine secondary subsidiaries and is a global leader in the platinum, diamond, coal, non-ferrous metals, ferrous metals, gold and paper products industries.
After nearly 100 years of development, Anglo American is the world's largest producer of platinum group metals (PGM) primary products, accounting for about 37% of the world's platinum production. The company has the world's largest platinum reserves and a full range of platinum group metals (platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium and osmium) and has mining, processing and refining capabilities.
The South African-based company currently owns five world-class platinum mining districts and is also working to find PGM deposits in other parts of the world, including Russia, North America, South America and China.
In terms of diamonds, Anglo American is a well-deserved leader in the world, since the Oppenheimer family and Anglo American jointly funded the acquisition of the world's largest diamond producer, Dai Mei. Bealce, a well-known diamond company, became a secondary subsidiary of Anglo American.
An old acquaintance familiar to Tang Feng, Bob, who has the nickname of cannibal crocodile. Stanton, now on Dai. Served within the Beers Company.
In terms of non-ferrous metals, Anglo American controls five world-class open-pit copper mines, including the world's third-largest copper mine, the Koyahuasi copper mine in Chile, and is currently the world's eighth-largest copper producer.
In terms of gold, Anglo Asanti, the world's third-largest gold producer. It is a secondary subsidiary of Anglo American.
In ferrous metals, Anglo American's iron ore business is the world's fourth-largest iron ore supplier after Vale, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto.
There is also coal, which is currently the world's sixth-largest producer and exporter, with an annual production of 100 million tonnes of thermal and coking coal.
By any measure, Anglo American is definitely a very scary mining group. It spans so many mining industries, but it has made remarkable achievements in each industry. This has to say that the strength of this group is very strong.
Most crucially, he single-handedly created Anglo American and Dai. Although Beers' Oppenheimer family is a South African family, it is an out-and-out Jewish family composed of descendants of British aristocrats, and this Jewish family from South Africa ranks thirteenth in the world in the list of major families in the world. And the influence of Jews in European and American countries is obviously unquestionable.
In fact, although the Oppenheimers will wear . Beers' merger with Anglo American did not diminish the Oppenheimer's influence, but rather strengthened it. With the help of Anglo American's advanced management model, the Oppenheimer family is now the family. It has become a decisive force in both the economic and political circles of the entire Commonwealth member states.
The combination of the Oppenheimer family and Anglo American has a huge influence among the members of the British Commonwealth, which is the main reason why the eight gold companies that can break the head in normal competition have joined forces to deal with Newmont Mining for the first time.
Canada, Australia and South Africa are all countries where the British have a very deep influence, and even the nominal head of state of Canada and Australia is still the Queen of England. Whether it's Canada's top three gold producers, or Australia's Newcrest Mining. The funds and main leaders behind its backstage control are all related to the British elite, not to mention the four major gold producers in South Africa, among which Anglo Asanti is directly a second-tier subsidiary of Anglo American.
If the influence of Anglo American is used, it may not affect giant mining groups such as BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, which have assets of more than 100 billion US dollars, but companies with a market value of less than 20 billion US dollars, such as Barrick Gold and Canada's First Quantum, are less than 20 billion US dollars. Anglo American is still very sure to influence them.
Eight of the world's top 10 gold producers are members of the British Commonwealth, and these gold producers usually hate to be brains like dogs, but that is normal business competition, but once they encounter something that can really threaten their position. Under the leadership of Anglo American, these companies will definitely not hesitate to put aside the dispute for the time being and join forces to deal with the threat.
The rise of Tang's Mining is undoubtedly very rapid, if the Beaumont Oilfield is not a threat to the eight major gold producers, after all, people are playing gold, not oil, but with the emergence of the super precious metal complex mine on Gravina Island, the eight major gold producers have felt the threat from Tang's Mining.
8,000 tonnes of silver, more than 700 tonnes of gold, more than 200 tonnes of platinum, all of which are extremely high-grade bonanzas, and the mining conditions are excellent, and the overall ASIC cost will definitely not exceed $700 per ounce.
Although it is only one mine, this mine has definitely endangered the eight major gold producers. Because the current international gold form is not good, the price of gold has fallen again and again, which has forced these eight gold dealers to reduce production, lay off employees and other means to tide over the crisis. And now another such bonanza has suddenly appeared, which is undoubtedly a disaster for the international gold market, which has been tumbling endlessly.
In fact, since the news of the Gravina gold mine was announced, the international gold price has fallen in response, falling by 10% in a single day. Originally, the international gold price was at a weak level, and if you suddenly build such a big mine, can you not continue to smash the gold price?
But Newmont Mining not only did not help stop this Tang Mining, but also helped others mine gold in the past.
In addition, Anglo American wanted to engage in Tang's Mining for other reasons, so the two sides hit it off and immediately launched a crazy attack on Newmont Mining.
Of course, if the current Tang Feng could understand the deeper thoughts behind Anglo American, he would definitely realize that this was the case.
But for Tang Feng, we don't need to care about any reason you don't want to cause! Don't look at you as a senior mining company, don't look at you as a joint venture of eight major gold producers, Lao Tzu has a star core, can you still be afraid of you?
Come on, let's break our wrists and see who's awesome!
Tang Feng thought so! (To be continued.) )
