Turquoise Hill: Successful Coup For Rio Tinto
Summary Turquoise Hill recently received a $3.3B takeover offer from Rio Tinto. The company's vast copper-producing Mongolian asset, Oyu Tolgoi is at the heart of the Australian miner's sustainability strategy. This strategic corporate asset grab has been lucrative for Turquoise Hill shareholders. What this means for Shareholders? On 6 September, 2022 - Rio Tinto (RIO) entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Turquoise Hill (TRQ). The offer at C$43 represents a 67% premium to the Canadian miner's closing price of $25.68 on 11 March,2022. It provides for a solid capital gain for equity holders. This article explores further the strategic move for Turquoise Hill and its underlying importance in Rio Tinto's future copper portfolio. General Overview Boom time for copper means a pursuit for dependable long-life assets has been a detailed talking point for boardrooms from London to Melbourne. Global copper consumption has accelerated with consumer goods such as electric vehicles, mobile phones, laptops, and homes all requiring substantial quantities. According to the United States Geological Survey, the Americas dominate the world's 21m tons produced annually with the region home to 15 of the largest copper mines globally. Included conspicuously in that list is Chile's vast copper belt - its production, with Escondida and Collahuasi mines at the forefront, equates to almost a quarter of total output. Trading Economics Copper prices continue to bounce back following price moderation driven by China induced lockdowns. BHP's (BHP) 66% stake in the gargantuan Escondida property, combined with copper's increasing significance as a battery mineral, assured Rio Tinto would make a strategic play to bolster its copper portfolio. That was recently achieved with the acquisition of Turquoise Hill. The Montreal, Quebec based miner had until recently a 66% stake in the plentiful Oyu Tolgoi Copper Gold mine in Southern Mongolia. In a savvy tactical gambit, the Australian mining giant made a $3.3B bid to buy all outstanding shares and place it firmly among the who-is-who of copper mining behemoths. It was a risky coup that ultimately put paid to a lengthy acrimonious board room battle while providing Rio Tinto CEO Jakob Stausholm a corporate victory lap focused on rekindling a damaged relationship with the Mongolian government. In one foul swoop, Rio Tinto's new asset has thrust it to the forefront of global sustainability. Let's find out more about Turquoise Hill and its prized Oyu Tolgoi asset. Visual Capitalist Chile dominates global copper production. Takeover by Rio Tinto Rio Tinto's takeover bid for Turquoise Hill, a calculated play for its prolific Mongolian copper producing asset, was finalized in December 2022. In exchange for control of the vast copper and gold producing tenement, Rio Tinto forked out $3.3B from cash reserves allowing it control (66% direct interest) with the Government of Mongolia (34%) making up the remainder. For the deal to be finalized, extensive due diligence had to be completed, both by the Yukon court in Canada and Turquoise Hill shareholders. The final transaction represented a 67% premium on closing price of Turquoise Hill one day prior to the Australian mining giant's public non-binding proposal to acquire the Canadian firm. Oyu Tolgoi is an outstanding asset with incredible people that will deliver significant long-term value for Rio Tinto and Mongolia Rio Tinto Chief Executive - Jakob Stausholm. The acquisition was challenging as Rio Tinto had to raise its offer for the company twice to appease hawkish Turquoise Hill equity holders. The two largest minority shareholders, SailingStone Capital and Pentwater Capital, had been vocal proponents of the deal citing a low-ball valuation. At one stage, Pentwater Capital had been the instigator of a class action lawsuit claiming the Australian miner had failed to inform investors of blow-out costs and schedule creep linked to the ongoing development of shaft 2. With almost 40,000 bolts and approximately 95% of steel in the shaft's headframe requiring rework, cost overruns ultimately hampered underground copper production, delaying the project by 16 to 30 months, and culminating in $1.2B to $1.9B of excess cost. With the takeover now finalized, Rio Tinto can fully focus on unleashing the mine's vast copper producing asset. Oyu Tolgoi Asset The Oyu Tolgoi gold & copper mine is a combined open pit and underground operation showcasing some of the world's largest proven reserves. Originally discovered in 2001, the operation is located in the South Gobi region of Mongolia, where initial open pit works commenced in 2011 along with development of the copper concentrator. Life of mine is presently in the decades and the operation's output will meaningfully impact Mongolian gross domestic product for years to come. Underground operations were developed only recently, with the Australian mining giant pouring roughly $5B in the extension project to produce an additional 500,000 tons annually.Turquoise Hill Resources Q3 2022 Earnings Preview
