ASARCO Incorporated
 PROFILE
ASARCO, a subsidiary of diversified mining company Nueva Grupo Mexico (formerly Grupo Mexico), is a leading miner, refiner, and smelter of nonferrous metals. ASARCO has mines in the US, Canada, and Peru, where it extracts copper and zinc. ASARCO's holdings include 54% of Southern Peru Copper and 50% of a copper-molybdenum mine in Montana. ASARCO has traded off most of its silver assets to partner Coeur d'Alene in exchange for a 19% stake in that company. Nueva Grupo Mexico acquired ASARCO after winning a bidding war with rival Phelps Dodge. It then sold ASARCO's American Limestone aggregates business and its specialty chemicals producer Enthone-OMI.
