- Wednesday, January 2, 9:02 AM Markets like ArcelorMittal's (MT) agreement to sell a 15% stake in its Canadian iron ore unit to a consortium of Asian investors, believing it will help the steelmaker reduce its substantial debt. Macquarie says the deal's implied $7.3B valuation for the mining operations is “an excellent result” for MT, and could be a sign the company "believes the iron ore cycle is past its peak.” MT +2.2% premarket. Comment! [Commodities, M&A, On the Move]
- Tuesday, January 1, 7:22 AM Posco confirms that it is part of a group that has agreed to acquire a 15% stake in iron-ore company ArcelorMittal Mines Canada (MT) for $1.1B. Earlier today, it was reported that China Steel will invest $540M and Posco $270M, with the South Korean firm looking to bring in other potential investors. (Previously) 2 Comments [M&A, Commodities]
- Tuesday, January 1, 6:02 AM Posco (PKX) says it has agreed to acquire a stake in ArcelorMittal Mines Canada, although the South Korean company hasn't decided how big a holding it will buy or how much it will spend. Different reports said that Posco will purchase 15% for $1.1B, or that the firm will acquire the holding as part of a group that includes China Steel. In October, ArcelorMittal (MT) was reported to be considering selling 30% of the Canadian iron ore unit. (Previously) 3 Comments [M&A, Commodities]
- Thursday, December 13, 2012, 5:21 AM ArcelorMittal (MT) CEO Lakshmi Mittal confirms the company could be interested in acquiring ThyssenKrupp's (TYEKF.PK) steel plant in Alabama. Credit Suisse's Michael Shillaker reckons that buying the facility, likely to fetch $1B-1.5B, "could be a smart move," but probably would add to MT's high net debt. On France, where MT has had its problems, Mittal says it's still a "place we can do business" in. Comment! [M&A, Commodities]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 3:21 AM A Posco (PKX) led group is reportedly in exclusive negotiations to acquire a 10% stake in ArcelorMittal Mines Canada (MT) after the consortium was named as the preferred bidder for the holding, which is worth $1B. Previous speculation said the South Korean steelmaker would invest $200M-300M in the iron-ore miner, with the rest coming from its partners. Comment! [M&A, Commodities]

The three farms on which Kalagadi holds mining rights are believed to contain 960M metric tons of manganese ore. Comment! [Commodities, M&A, Global & FX]

- Tuesday, October 2, 2012, 4:52 AM ThyssenKrupp (TYEKF.PK) is considering selling its two-year old $5B high-tech steel plant in Alabama and its $6.8B facility in Brazil after a strategy to transport slabs from the latter facility for processing into high-grade sheets in the U.S. factory led to massive losses.

- Friday, October 21, 2011, 3:13 AM Peabody (BTU) and ArcelorMittal (MT) receive a major boost in their quest to buy Macarthur (MACDF.PK) after China's Citic (CTJHF.PK) says it will support the companies' A$4.9B ($5B) bid for the Australian miner.

XRTrader: Also, keep in mind when you listen to Mittal vs other Steel execs - the South American/Brazil, and some overseas units in MT have done well -
XRTrader: So, this mitigates the slower areas of the world for them. This is a very different picture than a more regional steel company may paint.
