LONDON (Reuters) - Anglo American Plc, the world's third-largest miner, could face a potential $80 billion break-up bid from rivals, The Observer reported on Sunday.
Brazil's CVRD, Swiss-based Xstrata and Rio Tinto are looking at a possible break-up bid and have hired financial advisers ahead of a potential approach, the newspaper said, citing unidentified sources in London.
The mining sector has been undergoing a period of consolidation as miners scramble to secure supplies of commodities such as iron ore, coal and nickel.
Inco Ltd's board said on Tuesday it may begin talks with CVRD following a C$19.9 billion offer from the latter, and has also received bids from Phelps Dodge Corp and Canadian zinc miner Teck Cominco Ltd..
Xstrata, which recently acquired a majority of Canadian mining company Falconbridge's stock, had no comment on the report.
Anglo American, Rio Tinto and CVRD officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
Shares in Anglo American closed at 2,369 pence on Friday, valuing the group at around 36 million pounds, but the paper said the premium could take the full cost to [b]$80 million.
