    Alex B. Gray submits:Anglo American PLC (AAUKY.PK) is a worldwide mining company with operations in Africa, Australia, North America, South America, Europe and Asia. The company boasts a highly diversified mining portfolio which includes the platinum group of metals, diamonds, copper, nickel, iron ore, coal and other minerals. The company's revenues are well divided between platinum, iron ore and coal (both thermal and metallurgical), which provided approximately 60% of revenues in 2010 with each providing about 20% each. The remaining 40% was provided by copper 15%, diamonds 8% and other mining and industrial activities 17%. Operating profit increased substantially in 2010 driven by improved results in the iron ore, copper and platinum operating units. However, the iron ore and copper units supplied nearly 67% of total operating profits. Below, I briefly discuss the major operating units and how they performed in 2010 as well as expectations for 2011.

    • Iron ore is not like oil

      Investors may be tempted to think the recent move up in oil prices is foretelling similar gains in iron ore, but Ben McEwan at CIBC World Markets says these expectations are based more on hope than anything of substance. For one thing, the analyst found little historical correlation between the two commodities. In fact, it’s lower than the correlation between other industrial commodities such as copper, nickel, aluminum and metallurgical coal, and over both a 12 month and five-year period, only met coal demonstrates a lower correlation to oil than iron ore.

Anglo said it would cut its assets by 60 per cent, reduce its workforce to 50,000 from 135,000 and form three divisions: De Beers for diamonds, Industrial Metals for platinum and base metals and Bulk Commodities for coal and iron ore.

    • My Favorite “Unconventional” Gold Play (Johnson Matthey Is A Buy!)

      Gold mining aint easy. From “Big Gold” to junior miners, pulling ore out of the ground for a profit was a tough task over the past two years. Rising mine costs and lower precious metal prices were a disaster for many miners — something you can easily see with a quick glance at share price over the past two years. It’s been a bloodbath. However there has been one “unconventional” gold player that’s been making it work.
