  • Delta Dunia Group, via its indirect subsidiary BUMA International [1], will expand its presence in the Bowen Basin in Queensland, through a US$455 [2] million proposed acquisition of a 51% interest in the Dawson Complex, one of Australia’s largest metallurgical coal mines.
  • The proposed acquisition further delivers on the Group’s multi-year strategic plan to diversify into a leading coal services provider and producer, leveraging its industry-leading capabilities.
  • The Dawson Complex has a production capacity of >8 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) with established infrastructure and well-known products which receive strong demand from key steelmaking markets in Asia. The mine has Reserves to support a mine life of over 20 years, and a Resource life to support a mine life of over 50 years.
  • The proposed acquisition advances the Group’s strategy to diversify its portfolio and reduce its overall dependence on thermal coal.
  • The completion of the acquisition is contingent upon Peabody’s acquisition of the Dawson Complex, pre-emptive rights processes and customary regulatory conditions precedent, with targeted completion in 2025.

Dawson is a part of Anglo American’s Steelmaking Coal portfolio, which is being sold to Peabody pursuant to a separate sale agreement following a competitive sales process.

BUMA International will fund Peabody for the acquisition of Dawson and Peabody will transfer the Dawson Complex to BUMA International post-completion of its transaction with Anglo American, subject to completing the pre-emptive rights processes in respect of Dawson and other customary conditions. The agreements were executed on November 25, 2024.

The Dawson Complex will support our ambition to drive long-term growth and strengthen our role as a major industry player.

Additionally, the Bureau has implemented several initiatives related to women in the past few months, including hosting the first Family and Women’s Development Summit on October 9 and launching a one-stop information portal for families and women earlier last month, which consolidates information on family education, women’s health, and shares relevant legal information.”

In her Keynote Speech, Ms. Diana Cesar, JP, Executive Director and Chief Executive of Hang Seng Bank, said, “I believe that unlimited potential lies within every individual, when we dare to explore and try new things, we’ll always gain something valuable along the way.” She also encouraged young people to seize every opportunity and live life to the fullest.
