Iluka flags $2b demerger of BHP iron ore royalties

Key shareholders are convinced the time is right for mineral sands miner Iluka Resources to spin off a lucrative iron ore royalty it reaps from BHP in a move expected to unlock more than $2 billion in value.

Iluka said on Thursday that it was considering a demerger of the royalty it earns from BHP’s Mining Area C (MAC), which is set to skyrocket when the new $US3.6 billion ($5.2 billion) South Flank iron ore mine in Western Australia begins production from 2021.
