Anglo American chief executive Mark Cutifani said: "The completed sale of Norte to the Audley consortium represents further progress with our asset disposal programme and wider strategy to reshape the Anglo American portfolio, prioritising our capital on those assets that will create the most value for our shareholders over the long-term.
"We have delivered $1.9bn in cash proceeds this year, including $300m up-front for Norte to add to the $1.6bn we received for our stake in Lafarge Tarmac in July."
In August, Anglo American reached an agreement for the sale of its interest in the business with Orion Mine Finance as the principal co-investor.
According to Cutifani, the sale represents a good outcome for the company in terms of the up-front value achieved, as well as the continued delivery of its asset disposal programme.
