The company has agreed to sell its portfolio of steelmaking coal mines in Australia to Peabody Energy, in a deal that could rise to as much as $3.775 billion in cash, Anglo said Monday in a statement.

Anglo announced a restructuring earlier this year as part of a successful rebuttal of a $49 billion approach from BHP Group, the world’s biggest miner.
