MMG extends long-stop date for Anglo American Brazil nickel deal to Dec 31

Hong Kong-listed mining and metals company MMG said on Tuesday that it had agreed with Anglo American to extend the long-stop date for its proposed acquisition of the miner’s nickel business in Brazil to December 31, from October 31 earlier. The extension follows the European Commission’s decision to open a Phase II review of the transaction, with a final decision now due by December 21.
