Xstrata PLC (XTA.LN) has offered shareholders in West Africa iron ore explorer Sphere Minerals Ltd. (SPH.AU) A$2.50 cash a share in a takeover that values the target at A$428 million, the companies said Tuesday.

The offer values Sphere 61% above its A$1.55 closing price Monday and 73% over its 30-day volume-weighted average price, Xstrata said in a statement.

The offer has been unanimously recommended by the Sphere's board, who own 5.4% of its diluted equity, Sphere said.

The acquisition "gives Xstrata exposure to (the) attractive iron ore market through organic growth projects," Xstrata said.

Sphere has interests in the Guelb el Aouj, Askaf, and Lebtheinia projects in the West African nation of Mauritania.
