Shell to sell international coal assets

Article Abstract:

Royal Dutch/Shell Group is planning to sell off its coal assets all over the world by way of a tender offer.

Australian, British, South African, and German mining houses are expected to bid for coking and thermal coal mines located in Australia, as well as for the Paso Diablo mine in Venezuela.
