Billiton 2000 

Dec 29, 2020

Billiton acquired the Colombian Govt company`s 50% share in El Cerrejon mine in consortium with Anglo  American and Glencore. This is one of the largest open-pit coal mines in the world. Mining operations began in 1985, at exactly the same time as the underground coal mines in the UK were closed and Cerrejon became a major supplier of coal to the UK. http://www.minesandcommunities.org/article.php?a=6676   What happened next?
