Swiss-based commodities trader Glencore International PLC (GLEN.LN) said Wednesday it will offer 87 Australian cents per share to buy out minority shareholders in Minara Resources Ltd. (MRE.AU). The bid values the Australian nickel miner at A$1.02 billion.

Minara, which produced 14,625 metric tons of nickel from its Murrin Murrin mine in the first six months of the year, was already 72.99% held by Glencore, and a regulatory statement released Wednesday said the stake had now risen to 73.44%.

Glencore also owns 60% of Murrin Murrin, Minara's only significant mining asset.
