嘉能可將入股兗州煤業澳洲煤礦

China’s Yanzhou Coal, which earlier this month beat out Glencore to buy Rio Tinto’s Australian coal mines, said on Thursday the Anglo-Swiss mining and trading group would now buy a 16.6 per cent stake in the assets for $429m.

本月早些時候，中國的兗州煤業(Yanzhou Coal)擊敗嘉能可(Glencore)收購了力拓(Rio Tinto)在澳大利亞的多個煤礦。兗州煤業週四表示，這家英國-瑞士礦業和貿易集團將以4.29億美元的價格購買這些資產16.6%的股份。

The deal with Glencore, if confirmed, would also see the miner invest up to $300m in Yanzhou’s share issue, which it is carrying out to raise the funds necessary for its purchase of the Coal & Allied mines by its Australian-listed subsidiary Yancoal in Australia’s Hunter Valley.

這筆交易若得到確認，嘉能可還將以不超過3億美元參與兗州煤業的配股。兗州煤業此次配股，旨在爲澳大利亞上市子公司兗煤澳洲(Yancoal)收購聯合煤炭工業有限公司(Coal & Allied)位於澳大利亞獵人谷(Hunter Valley)的煤礦籌集所需資金。

Glencore’s billionaire chief executive Ivan Glasenberg attempted to gatecrash Yancoal’s earlier deal but was ultimately rebuffed by Rio, though not before both sides raised their offers, with the Chinese state-backed group paying $2.69bn.

嘉能可的億萬富翁首席執行官伊萬?格拉森伯格(Ivan Glasenberg)曾試圖插手兗煤澳洲收購力拓煤礦的交易，但遭到了力拓的拒絕，不過兩家公司都提高了收購報價，最終中國政府支持的集團以26.9億美元競得。

By buying a stake in Yanzhou’s Hunter Valley mines Glencore will be hoping to drive synergies with its existing mines in the region, secure more coal to pass through its sizeable trading business, and possibly ward off any threat of higher port fees.

通過入股兗州煤業在獵人谷的煤礦，嘉能可希望能與其在該地區現有煤礦實現協同效益，爲其規模龐大的交易業務獲取更多的煤炭，並可能避免港口費用提高的威脅。

The Coal & Allied business Yanzhou is buying from Rio holds a 36.5% interest in the Port Waratah coal export terminal located at the Port of Newcastle, the world’s largest coal export facility.

兗州煤業正從力拓收購的聯合煤炭持有瓦拉塔港(Port Waratah)36.5%的股權，該煤炭出口港位於紐卡斯爾港(Port of Newcastle)，紐卡斯爾擁有全球最大的煤炭出口設施。
