Overview
With the restructure of our business in October 2009, we created a more streamlined management structure with further focus on its core mining portfolio.

- Tarmac
- Scaw Metals
- Copebrás
- The Group’s portfolio of zinc assets
- Coal operations in Venezuela
Subject to regulatory approvals, our programme to divest of these businesses has largely been completed.
Scaw South Africa, the remaining part of the Scaw Metals group is the last such business to be sold. Catalão (niobium) and Copebrás (phosphates) are both now considered core to the Group and are reported within the Other Mining and Industrial segment.
