bhp 100 billion loss in sa, page-2

there is value in anything, it just depends on the price payed.

BHP obviously over payed

For Mashala, we can already safely say we underpayed- The Exploration tenements in Botswana themself could probably be sold for half of the acquisition cost imo.

Over Ferreira's mine life we will probably make an operational profit of 20/30 million.

Those 2 there themselves pay off the cost of Mashala, without taking into consideration the other 400 MT's of coal we received.
