LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Mining group Xstrata (UK:XTA 979.20, -39.80, -3.91%) said Tuesday that it will buy Australia's Sphere Minerals for A$2.50 a share, or a 61% premium to the closing price on Monday. The deal values the company at A$428 million ($383 million). Xstrata said the deal gives it exposure to attractive iron ore markets through organic growth projects in Mauritania and added that Sphere directors controlling around 5.4% of the group's share capital have already agreed to the deal.
