The collapse of merger talks between Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO) and Glencore (LSE:GLEN,OTCPL:GLCNF) has ended what would have been the mining industry’s largest-ever deal.
The two companies confirmed last week that discussions over a potential US$260 billion combination had been abandoned after failing to agree on terms that would deliver value for shareholders.
