OZ Minerals had previously announced a whole of business strategic review for completion and announcement in April. This review includes all aspects of the company from business optimisation to future opportunities.
In developing the review, OZ Minerals will announce material decisions as they are determined. Previously announced were the corporate office restructuring and relocation to Adelaide, initiatives to enhance the value of the Carrapateena resource in South Australia and the suspension of the Carrapateena sale process.
The equity investment in Sandfire was made in 2010 and the company has concluded that it will not be developing a more involved business relationship with the company. As such OZ Minerals has today acted to sell the Sandfire equity stake.
