Brazilian miner Vale moves to consider bid for Xstrata

Very Interesting.

Xstrata beat out INCO to acquire Falconbridge (C$20 billion)

Recall Phelps Dodge was involved with this, before getting acquired Freeport McMoRan

TeckComino is the only one left from this 2006 consolidation / takeover play.
