PROFILE |
 |
Mining company Billiton will soon have an Aussie twang. It's being acquired by Australia's BHP to form a mining and metals giant with sales approaching $20 billion. The world's top producer of chrome and manganese, Billiton is also a leading producer of aluminum and nickel, produces copper and steel, and -- through its Ingwe Coal subsidiary -- is the world's leading steam coal exporter. Billiton also owns a 50% stake in Richards Bay Minerals, the world's largest producer of titanium minerals. The BHP/Billiton combination will be 58%-owned by BHP shareholders and headquartered in Australia. Billiton, a spinoff of South African miner Gencor, acquired Canadian mining company Rio Algom in 2000.
