（February 6,2012） THE value of merger and acquisition activity in the global mining sector surged by about 50 per cent last year to top $US100 billion, aided by a recovery in transaction values in the final quarter of the year, according to KPMG. "Worldwide, M&A activity in the fourth quarter almost doubled (compared with the third quarter) in total deal value, making it the second strongest quarter of the year," KPMG said in a quarterly mining newsletter. |
