Australian diversified miner South32 said while it has plenty of regional expertise, the sales process for Botswana’s Khoemacau copper mine was quite competitive.

“It’s a competitive process, a bit rich for our blood to be honest,” CEO Graham Kerr told an earnings call on Thursday.

The miner had picked investment bank RBC Capital to help it put together a bid for Botswana’s Khoemacau copper mine, a source told Reuters in June.
