PROFILE |
 |
BHP Billiton is equally at home in London, Sydney, or a hole in the ground. Formed when Australia-based BHP Limited acquired UK-based Billiton plc in 2001, the company is a world-leading miner. The former BHP -- which is spinning off its steel business (#1 in Australia) -- mines copper, iron, gold, and coal, and has proved oil reserves of 590 million barrels. The former Billiton is the world's top producer of chrome and manganese; a leading producer of aluminum and nickel; a producer of copper and steel; and the world's leading steam coal exporter. Billiton also brings with it a 50% stake in Richards Bay Minerals, the world's largest producer of titanium minerals. Former BHP shareholders own about 58% of BHP Billiton.
