BHP Puts Anglo in ‘Rearview Mirror’ as CEO Eyes Canada Copper

BHP Group Ltd.’s top boss said he’s moving on after the company’s aborted attempt to buy Anglo American Plc, preferring instead to focus on its copper projects and opportunities in Canada.

Chief Executive Officer Mike Henry’s comments come four weeks after BHP made a last-minute pitch to buy Anglo American and prevent the smaller rival from pursuing its combination with Canada’s Teck Resources Ltd., only to pull its bid three days later.
