BHP sells 33.75% of Antamina mine’s silver to Wheaton for $4.3B, effective April 2026.
BHP has agreed to a $4.3 billion silver streaming deal with Wheaton Precious Metals, unlocking capital by selling a 33.75% share of silver from its stake in Peru’s Antamina mine, effective April 1, 2026.
Wheaton will receive 67.5% of Antamina’s silver output, doubling its prior exposure, with payments at 20% of the spot price and a fixed payable rate of 90%.
The transaction, which requires no regulatory approval, allows BHP to reinvest in higher-return projects while enhancing shareholder returns.
Wheaton’s 2026 production is expected to rise by 11.3%, with Antamina becoming its second-largest asset, contributing about 18% of gold equivalent output by 2030.
The deal represents only 6.5% of Wheaton’s market cap and strengthens its low-cost, long-life asset profile.
